The Texas Tribune Festival is one of the nation’s largest, most buzzworthy political gatherings. The 2019 festival brought together over 8,000 Texans to address the politics and policy affecting our communities, our schools, our work and our daily lives. Check out videos, photos and stories from the 2019 event and join us in 2020 for the 10th annual event.
Open Congress at The Texas Tribune Festival
Thousands joined us on Congress Avenue between 7th and 11th streets for Open Congress, a one-of-a-kind political party with honest conversations. The event included programming from POLITICO, Texas Monthly, Texas 2036 and The University of Texas at Austin housed in their own street tents. Attendees also attended book signings, food trucks, music and more from #TribFest19 partners and supporters. No pass required!
