## Resource

Hot Luck Festival just got a major upgrade — People Inc. has bought it, bringing its iconic Austin vibe under a media giant’s wing. But don’t worry, the soul of the fest stays intact: co-founders Aaron Franklin and James Moody are staying on board to preserve its unique charm and support the Southern Smoke Foundation. With a growing portfolio of food and culture events, People Inc. plans to expand Hot Luck’s reach, while fans can look forward to the next edition on October 16–17 — bigger, bolder, and still all about smoke, music, and Southern soul.
