Join Trover at SXSW!

The whole Trover team (8 of us!) is busting out of Trover HQ and heading down to the South by Southwest Interactive Festival March 9-13. We’ve got some trove-worthy fun planned for locals and visitors alike, and we’d love for you to join us.

Our SXSW program is powered by Austin trovers and the passionate locals they've introduced to us: artists, foodies, socialites, SXSW junkies and all kinds of urban explorers. Working with them, we’ve organized a thrilling deep dive into Austin culture. Ready, set jump….

Take a shot and a walk with Trover

Bottoms up! Join us for a 45-minute, tequila-fueled walking tour of East Austin's secret gardens, food trailers, and street art during SXSW.

Tours leave every hour starting at 12:15 p.m. through 5:15 p.m. each day Friday March 9 through Monday March 12. Meet outside the Liberty Tavern at the big orange balloon, south side of the Hilton, across from the Convention Center, and get those camera phones ready. RSVP: http://troveratxwalk.eventbrite.com/

Party at our nightly Live Graffiti Gallery

Grab a free drink and watch Austin street artists Slokeone, Kristopher Kotcher, Mez One, and Micca Toone create new pieces LIVE Friday, March 9 through Monday, March 12 from 6 to 8 p.m. at the East Side Drive-In, 1001 East 6th Street Austin, TX.

Each day a different artist will paint a "hidden gem" unique to Austin. Partygoers can even tag the walls of our urban art gallery. RSVP: http://troverlivegraffiti.eventbrite.com/

Post a discovery and win dinner for four at a local gem

Trover is awarding dinner for four at East Side Show Room, one of Austin's top restaurants, every day from Friday March 9 through Monday March 12. Just use Trover to share something cool you've found in Austin. The best discovery wins — and will be announced at the Live Grafitti Gallery (7 p.m.) and through the Trover app.

Vote for us! We're up for a SXSW Community Award!

SXSW Interactive has nominated Trover for a Community Award honoring new services that have attracted an extraordinarily active following of people who create tremendous content. You can help us win by clicking the second link on this page.

Austin Hidden Gems Trover List

Can’t make it to SXSW in person? You can still catch some of the best of Austin rolling into Trover's discovery feed every day. We’re also publishing a special “Austin Hidden Gems” list on the STAR tab of Trover. Stay tuned, and maybe you'll just have to join us at SXSW 2013!

See you there!
