Texas Tribune Festival 2024 takes over downtown Austin streets [Video]

AUSTIN, Texas – The streets of downtown Austin were lined on Saturday for the conclusion of the 14th annual Texas Tribune Festival.

It featured events, conversations, and panels from over 300 big name speakers.

“It’s really evolved into a must-see, and must be at, event for anyone who cares about politics and policy. And who cares about Texas and the nation,” said Kerri Qunell, director of marketing & communications for the Texas Tribune.

The multi-day festival aims to get the community engaged in politics and public policy, and better informed on current events.

Saturday’s event, “Open Congress”, was free to the public and featured a free street fest including political figures, top Texas brands and more.

“We have panels all day that range from politics and policy. Talking about what’s happening on the border, getting out the young vote for the upcoming election. And we also have more cultural and fun panels going on,” said Qunell.
