To say that South by Southwest (SXSW) takes over Austin every spring would be something of an understatement — the city and the festival really are interchangeable come mid-March. Since 1987, SXSW has steadily grown into the massive event it is today, with music, film, comedy, and interactive media components. 2020's festivities will go down between March 13-22, 2020, with 24 conference tracks to help you identify what you most want to see, do, and experience.
Kimpton Hotel Van Zandt is a five-minute walk from the Austin Convention Center, the official venue for SXSW. Other events are spread all throughout downtown Austin, so you’ll be in a prime spot to get to them all.
As a live music restaurant and bar, Geraldine’s fits into the SXSW landscape perfectly. Fuel up here before you head out for the day, grab a cocktail in the evening, or stop by in between for lunch, dinner, or a bite at the bar.
Don't miss out on this year's festivities. Stay with us to experience all the highlights!
