Music Lovers, Don’t Miss Fredstock!
On May 1, music lovers are in for a treat with a free event called Fredstock that runs from 2:30 to 10 p.m. at a new venue located at 309 W. Dewey Place. Get ready to rock out with talented artists like Grupo Metal featuring Chris Perez and El Dusty and The Homies. This event is extra special, as Fredstock is named in honor of the beloved Fred Weiss, a cherished former professor at San Antonio College.
Keeping Everyone Safe at Fiesta
As with any grand celebration, safety is a priority. The San Antonio Police Department is enhancing safety measures for Fiesta events this year. Expect to see security fencing around key areas like Market Square and Milam Park, complete with six designated entry points. Guests will have bags checked and will pass through metal detectors to ensure everyone’s safety. You can also expect a noticeable increase in police presence, with officer counts rising by 30% during the events.
Taste the Goodness at “Taste of the Northside”
Taste buds, get ready! The popular Taste of the Northside event has a new venue this year at Rock at La Cantera, scheduled for 6 to 10:30 p.m. Not only is it a feast for the senses, but this event also supports over 4,000 children with disabilities each year. You’ll enjoy delicious bites while making a difference!
Fiesta Fun at UTSA
At the University of Texas at San Antonio, the annual Día en la Sombrilla will feature a vibrant array of food vendors and fun games, all aimed at raising funds for various student organizations. Plus, let’s not forget that the UTSA Fiesta Arts Fair is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year! Over 100 talented, juried artists will display their stunning work for sale, adding a creative flair to the celebrations.
Weather Watch and Other Important Tips
As we’re gearing up for Fiesta, it’s good to keep an eye on the weather—especially with scattered thunderstorms predicted for the opening weekend. If you are planning to attend, be sure to check the forecast.
Transportation won’t be a hassle, either! VIA Park and Ride stations are offering convenient bus trips to select Fiesta events for just $1.30 one-way, and a free return service. Remember, when heading out, that you should stick to clear bags that measure up to 12 inches by 6 inches. Also, backpacks and ice chests won’t be permitted at certain venues, so it’s best to plan accordingly.
