The Backyard, Bee Caves Tx

2:00 pm – Midnight

Show is rain or shine. Don’t worry, we have tents. Come have fun in any weather!

Doors open at 2:00 pm. Come early and enjoy our art and food vendors! The show will be worth seeing from beginning to end!

Welcome to a movement to create a green, interactive festival with a steam punk theme. Our intention is to invoke the patrons’ creativity and participation in a Jules Vern meets Mad Max musical circus extravaganza. Imagine a world of steam power and clever invention; of jugglers and clowns and trapeze; of bands and DJs and dancing. There will be a circus-style midway laced with performers that will lead to the main stage where the musicians and DJs will entice your body to dance till you drop…or laugh till your face hurts! So don your top hats or bowlers, dust off your goggles and set your pocket watches because on May 15th we travel to a realm of mind-blowing, nostalgic fantasy that you’ll never forget.

Don’t forget to wear your best steam punk

or circus costume!!*

* Props are ok as long as you can prove they aren’t a weapon or dangerous to other patrons.

* Due to the nature of some performances, the circus is 18 years and up only.

What makes it green?

The GSC will are making our festival as paperless as possible. This is why we are counting on you to help us spread the word as opposed to us having to printing flyers and littering the town with them. We will also be using solar power where possible. Throughout the entire event we will be collecting, recycling, and composting to reduce waste.

The Backyard is making huge strides to reduce their footprint as well. Concrete will not be used unless absolutely possible. Instead they are using permeable pavers. They are using a retention pond to allow natural filtration and will have rainwater collection above and below the ground. Priority parking will be made available for hybrid, electric, bio-diesel, and car pooling cars. The Backyard will also be using solar paneling where possible.
