Make “The Venue” Your Home Away From Home at SXSW with 2 Days of Canada House Showcases & Business Events!
The Canada House BBQ @ SXSW Wednesday, March 18 and Thursday, March 19 at new location The Venue!
In just under two weeks our legendary BBQ will be returning to Austin, TX for SXSW but this time will span over two full days as the Canada House BBQ! This year the BBQ will move to a brand new location – The Venue (516 E 6th St, Austin, TX 78701)! The showcases will be presented by Alberta Music, CIMA, the City of Toronto, Indigenous Music North, Manitoba Music, Ontario Creates/MusicOntario and SaskMusic. A special thank you to our main partner and Canada House organizer Telefilm.
For 15 years, the Canada House showcase and B2B initiative has traveled the globe bringing vibrant and trend-setting talent and industry from Canada to international export markets through festivals, conferences, trade shows and independent missions in the US, Europe, Latin America, Asia and Australia.
