Celebrities, innovators head to D.C. for the first ever South by South Lawn

There’s a new innovative festival in town. Inspired by the Austin based South by Southwest, this new one-of-a-kind event is bringing together celebrities, civil rights activists and the leader of the free world together on one giant lawn.

Welcome to South by South Lawn.

The inaugural event will take place on Oct. 3 at the White House on, you guessed it, the South Lawn!

SiriusXM’s White House Correspondent Jared Rizzi will have a front row seat to all the action, giving you a behind the scenes look at all the excitement and happenings at the first ever #SXSL.

Thought provoking conversations will touch on a variety of issues including climate change, food sustainability, innovation and more. And SXSL isn’t holding back with A List guests including Leonardo DiCaprio, Rep. John Lewis, and of course, President Obama.

Things might get a little bit ‘Upside Down’ when the cast of Stranger Things make their White House debut during the event.
