Austin is the capital of Texas and one of America's fastest-growing major cities, home to approximately 980,000 city residents and 2.3 million in the metro area. It operates on Central Time (CST/CDT). Austin brands itself as the 'Live Music Capital of the World' — the city has more live music venues per capita than any other US city, and the Sixth Street entertainment district and South Congress Avenue are legendary music scenes. SXSW (South by Southwest), held annually in March, is the world's most important music, tech, and film festival intersection. The University of Texas at Austin, home to the Longhorns, is one of America's largest research universities. Austin's tech explosion — driven by Tesla (which moved HQ here), Oracle, Dell (founded in Austin), Apple, Samsung, and hundreds of startups — has branded the area 'Silicon Hills.' The city's Keep Austin Weird motto reflects its determined countercultural identity within conservative Texas.
