Foodies, listen up. The Austin Food + Wine Festival is this weekend at Auditorium Shores, so prepare for two days of good eating.

Resale tickets are still available, starting at $208 for a single day pass and $316 for a weekend pass. Let's dive into how to maximize your time at the festival.

Know before you go:

Bags need to be clear or have only one pocket — all bags will be searched before entry.
Reusable water containers are encouraged but must be empty upon arrival.
Parking is available through Pavemint at the RiverSouth Garage and One Texas Center Garage.
No one under the age of 21 is allowed at the festival.
Tasting and Meet the Maker sessions fill up quickly, so you'll want to get in line early. Pro tip: make the day's schedule your home screen so you don't miss any sessions.
