The Red River Cultural District created a charitable grant program, Banding Together ATX, in March 2021 after the festival cancellation and forced closures of live music venues due to the pandemic. The philanthropic initiative focuses on addressing food insecurity for low-income, under- and unemployed music, service and hospitality workers in the greater Austin area.
You can also enter for your chance to win one of 100 free passes to the virtual experience at SXSW’s 2021 event.
