St. Paul Lutheran School is at the center of a debate. The Conservation Society wants this building preserved, while the owners want it torn down and rebuilt into something useful.

Dwarfed by a CPS Energy substation, what had been the Sommers Saloon and Beer Garden 150 years ago, may not be at the corner of Tenth and Alamo much longer.

See who was at A Night In Old San Antonio 2023!

This year NIOSA will celebrate its 75th anniversary and there are a few changes coming — there are no more wristbands and paper tickets are back!

It may be chilly and damp outside, but San Antonians are already getting into the Fiesta mood.

San Antonio Mayor Ron Nirenberg and Conservation Society President Patti Zaiontz announced on Tuesday that the Conservation Society’s Fall Heritage Festival has been canceled out of caution during the COVID-19 pandemic. “Despite the strict safety measures the city and Conservation Society adopted to ensure a healthy event, the continued presence of COVID-19 in our community makes cancelling this event the right call,” Mayor Ron Nirenberg said. They can apply the funds to a future Society event. “The careful planning that went into the Fall Heritage Festival has taught us a lot about how to improve our events and festivals and make them even better.” Zaiontz said. “We are looking forward to future events that will benefit from our 2020 planning.”

SAN ANTONIO – This year will deliver a pumpkin-spiced, scaled-back version of NIOSA in November. The Conservation Society of San Antonio announced it will hold a “Fall Heritage Festival” in La Villita that will have “comparisons” to NIOSA — just with a 1,000-attendance limit and admission of $125 per person. While the fall festival will be larger this year, Zaiontz said it “is nothing new for The Society.” This will be COSA’s 10th fall festival, she said. Guests are encouraged to bring non-perishable food items to donate to the San Antonio Food Bank. Fiesta San Antonio was canceled entirely due to the coronavirus pandemic in July.
