The City of Buda is welcoming Formula One fans to town this weekend.

In addition to offering shuttle service to and from the track, the city is also hosting a downtown party Thursday.

The free concert will feature the Fabulous Thunderbirds, among other artists.

The city says it wants the many international visitors to remember Buda when they return home.

We are so close to the racetrack that we needed to take advantage of getting folks into Buda, showing folks our hospitality, and showing folks that we are enjoying them visiting us," Jack Jones with Buda’s Parks and Recreations Department said.

Buda Fan Jam wraps up late Thursday evening. The city's visitor’s center says hotels in town have been sold out for a while now.
