Every city has a Fifth Street, and every Fifth Street has a story to tell. Here’s ours.
Born out of a passion for place, Fifth Street DMC (formerly K.DMC and Kennedy Creative Events) has been trusted since 1999 to design, plan, and produce exceptional events rooted in local intrigue and thoughtful togetherness.
As the first Destination Management Company in Austin and Montana, we’re proud of our reputation as pioneers in the events industry. We know what it takes to succeed in producing exceptional events: steadfast industry partnerships, deep roots in our local communities, and a true passion for elevating the guest experience of each and every event uniquely.
for people. Passion for place.
As a true pioneer in Destination Management, we are constantly pushing the boundaries of what a DMC does. We don’t rinse and repeat. We offer first class service. We are IN the destination we represent and understand both the hot spots and have the backdoor code to the speakeasy you’d never find. We do it at scale – from groups of 50 to groups of 15,000 – and we’ve done it all with white glove service.
Our teamIn this industry, it’s all about who you know.
At Fifth Street DMC, we’re tapped into it all – the local hot spot, the secret speakeasy, the invite-only, private party. We have our fingers on the pulse of cutting edge experiences, roads less traveled, and events of the here and now. It all happens in our backyard – the cities we call home, the places we discover, and the people we know. We’re Fifth Street DMC. It’s nice to meet you.
lively Austin, Texas.
