resT FesT 2024
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.
