A draft of the city's refreshed strategy for downtown came to light this week.

While traffic in downtown San Antonio is usually congested, the streets promise to be even more crowded this weekend.

After buying the downtown landmark in early 2024, the developers behind the revamp of the Villita Assembly Hall have moved quickly to prepare it for its next life.

Oktoberfest at La Villita, New Flix, South Side ice cream & snack shop, The Big Give & Fashion for Life, fall desserts, new slider menu & more.

Welcome to the weekend! We’re getting close to the fall season, and some places are beginning the fall festivities this weekend.

Now that August is over, there are plenty of fun events happening in September.

Hi! Time sure flew by this month. Let’s wrap up the month with all the exciting events to look forward to.

Hi! Welcome to the second to last weekend of August. Time sure has flown by this month.

Happy weekend, everyone! August is finally here. There are plenty of festivities and fun to look forward to this weekend before school starts for the kiddos.

The summer ends in mid-September, but there’s still plenty of fun you and your family can enjoy before the season comes to a close.

While some families may already be focusing on back to school, know that there are still fun summer events planned for this weekend around San Antonio.

This weekend marks Mother’s Day weekend in the U.S., but several big events are also taking place across San Antonio.

The Asian festival takes place this weekend at La Villita, with tickets for those over 12-years old costing $15.

While there’s much excitement about Fiesta, some say the downtown road closures are making getting to the parties a little more of a challenge.

If you’re ready for Fiesta’s biggest events, you may want to know about some new venue and time changes for 2024.

With ongoing construction creating a vehicular maze in the area, the 11-day party may cause some traffic hot spots as drivers navigate road closures, pedestrians and detours.

NIOSA, or Night In Old San Antonio, runs from Tuesday, April 23 to Friday, April 26.

The streets of downtown San Antonio will stay busy this weekend due to major events and ongoing construction.

The San Antonio Parks Foundation says Celebrate SA will take place at Hemisfair, on the River Walk and the streets of downtown. The party will start at 6 p.m. on New Year’s Eve and continue with fireworks at midnight. It is free and open to the public.

The driving force behind the San Antonio African American Community Archive and Museum has been its mission “to collect, preserve and share the cultural heritage of African-Americans in the San Antonio region,” according to its website.

NIOSA officials are encouraging Fiesta-goers to use the VIA Park and Ride or other rideshare options.

This year’s Pride Month will feature the first-ever Bud Light Pride River Parade by Visit San Antonio on June 18. Maggie Thompson, director of River Walk operations, joined this episode of the South Texas Pride Q&A series to discuss more about the parade and what visitors can expect.

La Villita may be going through some changes, but NIOSA will be back at the historic venue for Fiesta 2022.

NIOSA organizers on Monday will continue the tradition of “Hanging of the Rain Rock” to ward off bad weather ahead of the four-day festival.

Fiesta’s famous “A Night in Old San Antonio” will look different than years’ past when it returns to La Villita this June.

For the San Antonio African American Community Archive and Museum, the goal is simple: to “collect, preserve, and share” African American history that may often go untold.

A Black History Tour will take place on the San Antonio River Walk during Black History Month.

SAN ANTONIO – When discussing Tejano history you would have to mention the first settlers to the area in the late 1600s and early 1700s. Those first settlers were soldiers hand-picked because they had families and knew how to ranch. “They bring with them morals and their standards.”When those first soldiers came to the area they created villas or towns. “The villas are important to every community because it’s the actual genesis, for the growth of communities that come later,” Rodriguez said.

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.

A team of eight artists is creating the Day of the Dead skulls, including contemporary artist Andy Benavides. "I had this interest in covering this whole thing in mirrors," Benavides said. "On many levels, it was a gift to the ancestral memories, as well as a literal gift to the city," Benavides said. Benavides said in addition to the eight skulls worked on in San Antonio, there will be eight more produced by artists in Mexico City.

SAN ANTONIO – The Day of the Dead San Antonio 2019 Festival will be free, organizers announced Wednesday. The free tickets are available online.
