The 15th annual Texas Tribune Festival returns to downtown Austin Nov. 13–15, bringing together some of the nation’s most influential voices for three days of bold conversations about the future of Texas and beyond. Featured speakers include Deb Haaland, former U.S. Secretary of the Interior and 2026 Democratic candidate for New Mexico governor; state Sen. Joan Huffman, R-Houston and 2026 Republican candidate for Texas Attorney General; and Jake Tapper, anchor of CNN’s The Lead and State of the Union.
On Saturday, Nov. 15, the festival opens up to everyone with Open Congress, a free street fest on Congress Avenue featuring live discussions, performances, exhibits, and activations from local and national partners.
