Testimonials

The time has come for the last total solar eclipse in centuries,

and your REST is revolutionary!

Eclipse myths tell of celestial dragons

and humans fighting for the light.

Before the sky goes dark, REST Fest lights up Austin

with parades, live music, dance, haptic art, and dinner in the dark.
