Convention Center in Austin Closed Until 2029. March 31, 2025 to 2029

The Austin Convention Center is scheduled to close for renovations on April 1, 2025, following the conclusion of the South by Southwest (SXSW) festival in March 2025. This closure marks the beginning of a $1.6 billion redevelopment project, which includes demolition and construction, with the new, expanded facility expected to reopen in late 2028 or early 2029. The exact reopening date may vary slightly depending on construction progress, but the plan is to have it ready before SXSW 2029.
