Final St. Lucia Festival a memorial to former organizer

An Austin tradition is coming to an end while honoring a former resident.

This year’s Lucia Festival is the last Lucia Fest, according to director Madlain Vander. Vander is planning on moving next summer.

“I wasn’t even going to do it this fall,” she said.

Yet the death of noted resident Darren Lewis this fall, who many remember for being active in the community, gave Vander and other Lucia organizers pause. Lewis and family were always active in Lucia Fest, and Lucia organizers saw the opportunity to do some good with one last show.

That’s why this year’s Lucia Fest is a memorial to Darren Lewis, who died Sept. 24 at age 38.

“So many of us were so close to them,” Vander said. “I said, ‘I think we can use this to raise money and get a memorial done.’”

Proceeds from the event will go towards a Pacelli Catholic Schools Guardian Angels Fund for the Lewis children, along with a ceiling star and permanent seat fixture at the Paramount Theatre.
