Austin Entertains

Supporting entrepreneurs and innovative women in the culinary arts by showcasing the Austin area’s top chefs and bartenders while benefiting The Junior League of Austin (JLA).

Now in its tenth year, Austin Entertains continues to serve as a cornerstone of The Junior League of Austin’s mission-driven fundraising efforts — celebrating women in Austin’s vibrant culinary scene while raising vital funds for JLA’s Signature Impact Programs, including Food In Tummies (FIT), a program dedicated to eliminating weekend hunger for children in the Austin community.

Austin Entertains is a food and beverage event that raises money for fellowship award winners and JLA’s signature programs. The event attracts chefs, beverage and spirit purveyors, consumer packaged goods (CPG) companies, and other culinary and beverage participants to showcase their craft. Austin Entertains 2026 anticipates a sold-out event with 500 guests and more than 35 culinary and beverages participants.
