What to Expect Today – Tuesday, March 17, 2026 in Austin

Navigating Austin today will be tricky as St. Patrick’s Day overlaps with the final days of SXSW 2026. Expect major gridlock and road closures in the Downtown area, specifically along 6th Street (Brazos to I-35) and Red River Street. Parking at the Domain for the Jack & Ginger’s street fest will also be at a premium; utilize the free SXSW shuttles if you’re a registrant, or plan to use rideshare services to avoid the “myth” of downtown street parking.
