What is West Fest?
West Fest is a large-scale, student-led annual philanthropic event organized by the Texas Interfraternity Council. Each spring, the IFC fraternities host a weekend-long concert series in West Campus that draws over 8,000 attendees each year. Though the event is not affiliated with UT Austin, the Texas IFC has worked diligently over the years to establish a collaborative relationship with both the university and the City of Austin that prioritizes safety, compliance, and positive community relations throughout the weekend.


In 2025, Texas IFC's West Fest raised over $80,000 in philanthropic support, benefitting local organizations including the Austin Angels, Hope House, Hogg Foundation for Mental Health, Circle of Sisterhood, the Coalition for Student Wellbeing, and Dell Children's Ascension
