Austin Angers Sister Cities

Austin Angers Sister Cities Bridging Austin and Angers—Celebrating culture, community, and collaboration across continents. Non-profit organization.

The Austin-Angers connection: Austin Angers sister cities organization! Linking Central Texas & the Loire Valley. In 2012, Austin, Texas and Angers, France became sister cities. Intrigued by the new connection, a delegation of event producers came to SXSW to network and explore possible partnerships and Austin Angers Music was born. Since that first Spring, Austin Angers Music expanded to encompass many elements of the creative industries including film, food & w**e, and tech. Our partnership continues to develop relationships and exchanges with musicians, chefs, directors and businesses. In addition to the creative exchanges, this relationship has fostered the development of Levitation France, Austin Psych Fest’s first European festival, and the formation of the French American Business Council of Austin. In September 2015 a team of Texas musicians, chefs and entrepreneurs traveled to Angers to celebrate the 2nd Annual “Austin Week” and in November, we will continue with “Angers French Market Day” to showcase French musicians, film makers, artists, chefs, sports, and culture to the Austin community. In 2023, Austin Angers Sister cities launched the first edition of la fete de la musique in Austin.

🎶 That’s a wrap!! 🇺🇸🇫🇷🎸

After weeks of preparation and planning, we celebrated Fête de la Musique this weekend on the beautiful campus of St. Edward’s University, where the partnership between Austin and Angers began exactly 15 years ago!

For the occasion, we were honored to welcome Chito Vela, Austin Mayor Pro Tem, and Frank Marchetti, consul of France in Houston, Consulate of France in Houston among our guests.

This event is a reminder of the important role citizen-to-citizen diplomacy plays. Through cultural exchanges, educational projects, and economic dialogue, nonprofit organizations like ours, powered by dedicated volunteers, help open the door to new opportunities and horizons.

I am deeply grateful to the incredible team of volunteers who made this event possible. A special shout-out to Aj Valverde, who dedicated countless hours to bringing it all together!

Last but certainly not least, I would like to thank our amazing sponsors. Your support means so much to us, and we are truly grateful.

Cheers, y’all 🥂, and see you at Fête de la Musique 2027! 🎸
