While there’s much excitement about Fiesta, some say the downtown road closures are making getting to the parties a little more of a challenge.

If you’re ready for Fiesta’s biggest events, you may want to know about some new venue and time changes for 2024.

With ongoing construction creating a vehicular maze in the area, the 11-day party may cause some traffic hot spots as drivers navigate road closures, pedestrians and detours.

NIOSA, or Night In Old San Antonio, runs from Tuesday, April 23 to Friday, April 26.

The streets of downtown San Antonio will stay busy this weekend due to major events and ongoing construction.

The San Antonio Parks Foundation says Celebrate SA will take place at Hemisfair, on the River Walk and the streets of downtown. The party will start at 6 p.m. on New Year’s Eve and continue with fireworks at midnight. It is free and open to the public.

The driving force behind the San Antonio African American Community Archive and Museum has been its mission “to collect, preserve and share the cultural heritage of African-Americans in the San Antonio region,” according to its website.

NIOSA officials are encouraging Fiesta-goers to use the VIA Park and Ride or other rideshare options.

This year’s Pride Month will feature the first-ever Bud Light Pride River Parade by Visit San Antonio on June 18. Maggie Thompson, director of River Walk operations, joined this episode of the South Texas Pride Q&A series to discuss more about the parade and what visitors can expect.

NIOSA organizers on Monday will continue the tradition of “Hanging of the Rain Rock” to ward off bad weather ahead of the four-day festival.

Fiesta’s famous “A Night in Old San Antonio” will look different than years’ past when it returns to La Villita this June.

For the San Antonio African American Community Archive and Museum, the goal is simple: to “collect, preserve, and share” African American history that may often go untold.

A Black History Tour will take place on the San Antonio River Walk during Black History Month.

SAN ANTONIO – When discussing Tejano history you would have to mention the first settlers to the area in the late 1600s and early 1700s. Those first settlers were soldiers hand-picked because they had families and knew how to ranch. “They bring with them morals and their standards.”When those first soldiers came to the area they created villas or towns. “The villas are important to every community because it’s the actual genesis, for the growth of communities that come later,” Rodriguez said.
