After hearing the annual Austin festival would not be cancelled, it was announced today that the event was cancelled on the direction of Austin Public Health.
Can't turn on the news without hearing about the coronavirus at some point. Some folks don't want tens of thousands of people coming to Austin while this is going on. Looks like the festival is saying, the show must go on.
The 2018 edition of the South By Southwest fest came to a close yesterday with a bit of a cloud over the proceedings due to a series of bomb scares in Austin, Tex.
