Lightstone House at Bentley’s Soho Lounge
During SXSW 2026
March 12 through March 15
10:00 AM to 10:00 PM

217 East 6th Street
Austin, Texas
Lightstone Entertainment invites you to Lightstone House, a four day creative activation during SXSW bringing together filmmakers, technologists, musicians, founders, investors, and cultural leaders inside one of Austin’s most iconic locations on historic 6th Street.
Lightstone House is designed to feel less like a conference and more like a creative salon. Throughout the week guests can expect live music, podcast recordings, thought leader conversations, industry networking, and showcases featuring emerging talent.
The goal is simple. Bring together the right people in the same room and see what happens.
For many longtime Austinites, SXSW was once known for discovery. Artists were discovered. Partnerships were formed. Careers were launched in rooms where people simply showed up, shared ideas, and created together.
Lightstone House aims to reconnect with that spirit.
