SXSW is a multi‑day festival in Austin combining music, film, and a large tech/business conference. Expect a mix of official programming (conference sessions and ticketed showcases) and tons of unofficial parties and free showcases across the city.
Events are spread across many venues downtown, so expect heavy foot traffic, long lines, and busy transit. Build extra time into your schedule for getting between venues and for entry lines at popular showcases.
Many events require badges, wristbands, or RSVP — even free showcases can have limited capacity. Check event access rules in advance and arrive early for popular sessions or free parties.
There are many free day parties, unofficial showcases, and community events during SXSW. These can be the best way to experience music and meet people without paying premium ticket or badge prices.
Hotels and flights sell out or spike in price during SXSW. If you’re flexible, set up a hotel price tracker (hourly checks and email alerts) to notify you of drops. If you must travel during peak dates, book well in advance.
Because programming is dense and scattered, prioritize a short list of must‑see acts or sessions and leave room for discovering pop‑up events. Familiarize yourself with downtown layout, transit options, and nearby restaurants to make quick decisions between shows.
