奥斯汀城市极限音乐节圆满落幕：两周狂欢，美食成最大赢家
奥斯汀消息：经过连续两个三天周末，奥斯汀城市极限音乐节（ACL）10月11日在泽克公园（Zilker Park）正式落下帷幕。首周末遭遇泥泞开局后，第二周末天气转晴，阳光下的乐迷重返园区，在音乐与美食中收官——而美食成了这个周末最大的赢家。
据FOX 7奥斯汀报道，头牌演出吸引了数千人聚集，而乐迷们把最多的钱花在了美食摊位上：玉米卷、鸡肉沙威玛、玉米热狗、芝士汉堡、迪拜巧克力草莓、冰淇淋和鸡柳成为最受欢迎的消费品。乐迷安德莉亚·加尔萨说："我吃到了非常棒的玉米卷、鸡肉沙威玛……真的很好吃。"连续第三年参加的谢丽·斯鲁奇钟情玉米热狗和芝士汉堡，乐迷莱拉·休斯则表示买得最多的是"迪拜巧克力草莓、冰淇淋和很多鸡柳"。
乐迷在餐饮上的大手笔消费，与音乐节可观的经济贡献相吻合。根据去年发布的ACL经济报告，音乐节为奥斯汀本地经济贡献超过5.57亿美元，其中餐饮消费1.188亿美元、酒店住宿8740万美元、航班3310万美元。
乐迷们也为德州中部多变的天气做好了准备：上周的雨靴换成了防尘头巾，以抵挡尘土飞扬的园区小路。"这是我第三年来，过去两年的尘土肯定比今年大得多，"斯鲁奇说。

Austin City Limits Wraps Up Two Weekends of Music: Sun, Dust, and Food Steal the Show
AUSTIN — After two three-day weekends, the Austin City Limits Music Festival officially wrapped up on Oct. 11 at Zilker Park, closing with a sun-drenched second weekend — and food as the weekend's biggest winner.
Following a muddy kickoff during Weekend One, the weather cleared up just in time for Weekend Two, bringing back crowds of fans eager for more live music. While headline acts drew thousands, festivalgoers spent most of their money at local food vendors: tacos, chicken shawarma, corn dogs, cheeseburgers, Dubai chocolate strawberries, ice cream, and chicken strips were among the top purchases.
"I've had some amazing tacos, chicken shawarma... like really good food," fan Andrea Garza told FOX 7 Austin. Returning third-year attendee Sherrie Sludge said she loved the corn dogs and cheeseburgers, while fan Lyla Hughes cited "specifically the Dubai chocolate strawberries and the ice cream and a lot of chicken strips."
The heavy food spending aligns with the festival's substantial economic footprint. According to last year's ACL economic report, the festival contributed over $557 million to Austin's local economy — including $118.8 million on food and beverages, $87.4 million on hotel lodging, and $33.1 million on flights.
Fans also came prepared for central Texas's shifting weather, trading last weekend's rain boots for bandanas to block out the dusty trail air. "This is my third year coming here, and the dust the last two years was definitely way worse," Sludge said.
