NIOSA is solely produced by The Conservation Society of San Antonio, one of the nation’s oldest and most active historic preservation organizations that will celebrate its 100th anniversary this year. All proceeds go to the organization, according to NIOSA’s website.

Admission is $20 in advance and $25 at the gate. Tickets can be purchased on NIOSA’s website, at local H-E-B stores, and at NIOSA headquarters at 227 S. Presa St.

NIOSA uses paper coupons for food, drink and souvenir purchases. Those coupons can be purchased inside and outside NIOSA gates, but they are cash only.

NIOSA spans 14 cultural areas at La Villita and is known for its food and drink options, like Anticuchos, Maria’s Tortillas, Mr. Chicken and Bongo-K-Bobs. Click here for more information on the event.
