Satellite Spelling Bees

A uniquely Austin event, the Great Grown-Up Spelling Bee supports an important cause and has earned a reputation for rowdy fun! Before the main event, we hold pre-event Satellite Bees in March and early April. Satellite Bee winners go on to compete with our city's boldest Spelling Champions in the Main Event!

You can win your way in! These Happy Hour Bees are perfect for small offices, book clubs, alumni groups, close friends and family. Just pick your best three spellers and have the whole crew chip in, have a beer, and cheer your team to victory!

Meet the champions of Satellite Bees at the Highball!

Congratulations to Spellbound of Hyperformix
