    All Things Food Summit

    Food Tank, Huston-Tillotson University, and Barr Mansion team up for this all-day summit on all things food (it’s right there in the name!), a rare official SXSW event that is also totally free (but you’ll have to RSVP). Educators, advocates, policymakers, and more gather to chew over accessibility, affordability, sustainability, and wellness. Sweetening the deal? All day you’ll be nomming on complimentary comestibles, from Swig Cheese Haus hemp cheese to Floofy’s Fluff organic cotton candy and a Niman Ranch charcuterie table. – Kimberley Jones

      Rodeo Austin

      You thought SXSW was the only days-long party in town promising loud music and smelly animals? Then this must be your first rodeo! OK, this one’s slightly more wholesome: Activities include a stock show, pro rodeo, petting zoo, pig races, carnival rides, and your favorite fareground vittles, plus a fresh headliner every day, including Lukas Nelson, Los Huracanes del Norte, Wynonna Judd, and Flatland Cavalry. Too wholesome? Pull on your finest shitkickers and hit the dance hall; there’s a full bar and, Rodeo Austin teases, a “chance to dance with a real cowboy.” Runs through March 23. – Kimberley Jones
