What do you get when you mix 1.5 million bats, a bridge in downtown Austin, and a high-octane music lineup? You get Bat Fest—one of the most unique and unforgettable festivals in Texas!

In this episode of Road Gang Radio, Jimmy Mac and Lindsay Lawler catch up with French Smith, creator of Bat Fest and fellow CDL holder who also hauls mobile concert stages across the state. French dives into how Bat Fest started, what makes the event one-of-a-kind, the family-friendly features (including free kids’ activities!), and what you need to know if you plan to see the famous Congress Avenue Bridge bats take flight.
