	2013 Pecan Street Spring Festival By Kenyatta Giddings May 4, 2013 - 12:00pm Here's a little Austin history: Sixth Street was orginally named Pecan Street in honor of the Texas tree. Considering you likely celebrate (finishing an exam, best friend's birthday, making it to another Thursday) on Sixth Street every week, why not celebrate the street itself at The Pecan Street Festival? Enjoy everything this free festival has to offer from arts and crafts, food vendors (hello, food trucks!), and over 60 local and national music acts. Photo: http://estevato.com/wp-content...
