Eeyore’s Birthday Party 2023

Eeyore’s Birthday Party is a day-long festival taking place in Austin, Texas annually since 1963. It typically occurs on the last Saturday of April in Pease Park. It includes live music, food and drink vending which benefit local non-profit organizations, attendees in colorful costumes, and large drum circles. The festival was named for Eeyore, the chronically depressed donkey from A. A. Milne’s Winnie-the-Pooh stories who, in one story, believes his friends have forgotten his birthday only to discover they have planned a surprise party for him. For many years the party was a University of Texas tradition, but subsequently the annual Birthday Party became a tradition in Austin’s hippie subculture.
