ATX TV Festival kicks off next week in downtown Austin and we honestly can’t wait! The festival feels like what SXSW felt like back in the day – homegrown, small-ish, and for Austinites. Here’s what you need to know:
📅 The Festival Lasts Four Days
Programming runs May 29 through June 1 and includes all kinds of events. You can expect panels on your favorite shows, interviews with icons, and events like bookstore pop-ups and barbecues. Events are held in downtown spots like The Paramount Theatre and the Stephen F Austin Royal Sonesta Hotel.
🎫 Badges and Tickets Are Still Available
Two badges – the general programming and TV pass – are still available to purchase. The general programming badge is $335 and includes access to general programming screenings and panels and marquee programming. A TV pass is $150 and gets you into four general programming events and one marquee event.
If you’re looking for less commitment, grab a ticket for a single event!
