It’s time to lamb it up — the Lamb Jam Happy Hour Tour will stop in Austin from 6 to 9 p.m. on Wednesday, April 16 at Assembly Hall.
A $60 ticket grants you access to the party, complete with an open bar, live music from Keaton Blake Whitmire, exclusive merchandise, a photo booth, games, and more activities.
During the event, chefs from eight Austin restaurants will contend for the title of ATX’s own Lamb Jam Master. Attendees will taste each dish and vote for their favorite to crown the winner.
