     South By SouthWest (SXSW) is a internationally recognized event held annually in Austin. It’s a chance for noted film makers, musicians, and multimedia artists to come together for one enormous affair. Music, film and interactive events all have separate days and tickets; music normally lasts for six days, interactive for five and film for nine. SXSW tickets for these events can be purchased on their website, www.sxsw.com, but there are lots of non SXSW related events happening downtown at the same time as SXSW that are free and open to the general public.  

     Austin is a great place for family, friends and fun. There is always something happening and it’s almost impossible not to have a good time. Go to one of these events and a exciting experience is almost guaranteed.
