Welcome to Austin News Update. I'm Morgan Riley, bringing you the latest from our vibrant city.

Word on the streets of Austin is that South by Southwest is making some big changes for 2026. The festival announced it will be shortening its run by two days and eliminating the dedicated music weekend. SXSW will now take place from March 12-18, with SXSW EDU leading up to it from March 9-12. Organizers say they're aiming to make the festival more affordable and streamline the experience.

The impact on Austin's economy remains to be seen, but city officials are committed to supporting local businesses and creatives through this transition.

In other news, Austin police are investigating the city's ninth homicide of 2025. The incident occurred on Interstate 35, though details are still emerging. This follows closely on the heels of the eighth homicide, which took place in the 2300 block of Douglas Street in South Austin just days ago.

On a brighter note, let's talk about a local hero making waves in our community. Haley Spiewak, a law student at Southern Illinois University, has been named to the board of editors for the university's Law Journal. Originally from Austin, Haley's achievement showcases the academic excellence our city continues to foster.

Looking ahead to this weekend, Austin's got plenty to offer. The Wallflowers are set to perform at Haute Spot on Friday night, while Saturday brings the GoldenGaia Vendor Market and Holistic Fair to Casa de Luz. For comedy lovers, Cap City Comedy Club in the Domain continues to bring laughs to the city.

As for the weather, we're looking at a pleasant weekend with highs in the mid-70s and partly cloudy skies - perfect for enjoying some outdoor events.

In reflecting on this week's news, it's clear that Austin continues to evolve, facing challenges and celebrating successes. As we navigate changes to beloved institutions like SXSW, we're reminded of our city's resilience and adaptability.
