Nosferatu Festival 2026 - A Weekend of Vampires

What better way to Keep Austin Weird than to honor one of the greatest works of cinematic horror with its very own festival? We celebrate 104 years since the endearing Count Orlok, also known as Nosferatu, was first released on March 5th, 1922. What better setting to embrace all things Vampire than Austin, fondly nicknamed Bat City? Nosferatu Festival is a gathering of fans for the mutual admiration of this masterpiece by way of artwork, music, food, drink and general revelry. The Fest is our way of bringing together people spanning all age groups, all cultures and subcultures, and even those alive and undead.
