Areneson River Theater at capacity at 6:02PM - the event started at 6:00PM!
Brent L.

OK, another festival event, and this one also just flat out SUCKED! The event is free to the public, but you have to get a free ticket online, so it doesn't get overcrowded. However, if you show up before 6PM before they start closing the gates, you can get in without the pass. The Dia de los Muertos event was held in La Villita and it was PACKED right at 6PM. If you can manage to get into the Arneson River Theater, you can watch various dancers on the stage, a river parade for Dia de los Muertos, as well as a float for the neighboring Diwali Festival that was going on across the street at Hemisfair Park. We tried to get into the Arneson River Theater right at 6pm, but it was already filled to capacity and they weren't letting anyone else in. Navigating up and down the narrow village streets of La Villita filled with food and drink booths seemed near impossible - it was literally as bad as NIOSA in most of the areas. We did find one stage where we were able to watch some dancers, but never got into the Arneson. There were some cool art installations, altars, and tributes for loved ones, but most of them were hard to get to. We stayed for maybe an hour and a half, and then made our way across the street to the Diwali Festival. It's crowded too, but Hemisfair Park is much more spread out than La Villita. We had a MUCH better time over at that event. I'll pass on this one next year folks (unless they change the venue). There are several other Dia de los Muertos celebrations around town that are FAR easier to deal with!

Corazon mas borracho!

It pains me to write these words. Mind you in years past this used to be a really cool event. There used to be a wealth of ofrendas. I still like that patrons go all out with faces painted as calaveras, calacas. Or ladies dressed as if they were Guadalupe Posada's iconic, "La Catrina." However the minute the city attaches itself to a cultural event it gradually turns into something else. Such was the case with this year's "Day of the Dead Festival." One of my main critiques is that it's a festival that has outgrown its venue. It's like trying to fit a size 10 foot into a size 7 shoe. What once equally balanced a celebration with a hint of melancholy has slowly become Cinco De Mayo 2.0. There was a time that you could walk through to partake in the art, music and elaborate costumes. This year I found myself slogging to get from one point to the next. Multitudes of rude patrons marched through with aluminium Bud Light bottles in tow. Coupled with being nudged at all directions by people with baby strollers, that became Gerber Deathmobiles. Sure there were glimpses of what this festival once was. The minute you caught a glimpse of it waves of festivalgoers would disrupt the vibe. For example artist's booths were hidden by the sheer volume of the crowds. Overpriced beer and gorditas were the call of the day. I made a beeline towards the altars that in the past were the focal point of this event. I must say I was greatly disappointed. Typically the community especially schools are encouraged to participate. What made it interesting each year was to see what elaborate or epic ofrendas that would be constructed. I still remember the one someone did for John Lennon. This year for some reason there were only a handful of them. The ironic thing is that all other parts of the festival seemed to be brimming with people. I was left with the impression that this area was an afterthought. All lines pointed toward either food or drink. Or tourists searching for the perfect selfie op by a mural. If you're still reading at this point and assume I am a party pooper consider me guilty as charged. I've been to other events that observe this cultural event more effectively. What I mean to say is of course no one throws a party to have it unattended. It just felt like this year its meaning was lost or even lessened. In addition what really got to me was seeing the etiquette or lack thereof of some of the festival goers. Since a great deal of the altars are publicly displayed it's fine taking photos even observing them closely. But I saw people touching items even to the point of rearranging them. Understanding this tradition that behavior is highly disrespectful. I suspect that since Halloween and Dia De Los Muertos are a day apart the tendency is to lump both together but they are two different things. The Pixar movie, "Coco" a film about Dia De Los Muertos has popularized the tradition. As a result this year's festival had a huge turnout. The focus on its cosmetic aspects rather than its cultural significance seems shortsighted. I'd like to see the city open up Commerce Street and have a block long procession similar to the one's in Mexico. Then again if it did it would turn into some taco truck throwdown or margarita pour off. A wandering spirit can't get no love in this city now can they?

Stumbled upon this fun and family-friendly a festival. on the outside looking in the festival doesn't look so big, however there were a lot of different paths to take with multiple food trucks, shops and even altares de muertos. there were two main entrances to the festival and at each entrance they had different DJs playing music and creating a really fun vibe. Living in the north this isn't a festival that is celebrated by us and was so cool to see how big and hear from locals how important it is. I come back to San Antonio anytime soon I hope it's during this time again.

First time event. Parking was not bad and plenty to choose from. We walked to la Villita and the place was super busy. My biggest gripe would be the limited food. There was about 5 booths and not enough to handle the crowds. I stood line for about 45 min and to find out the menu was limited because they were running low on food. The prices were tourist prices which was expected $8 for a simple burger. The aguas frescas were great but again very pricy. They had a parade which was great but the crowds were ridiculous with people shoving to walk up front when we were already packed in like sardines (no fault of the event I know but still very annoying). The alters were fabulous with some fantastic and powerful entries. This I truly enjoyed. Nice event but they definitely need more food vendors.

Small, little festival at La Villita. They had various acts which had their faces painted in the traditional Dia de los Muertos skulls. There was a procession of the "dead," which danced to some beats provided by a drumline of "dead drummers" - think conga line. They played at different times and around the area which was pretty cool. The main focus though, were the ofrendas-altars-honi ring the deceased. Some quite elaborate, some quite simple, yet effective. They also had food and other vendors peddling their creations/art. The best part though, was the interactive area by the Southwest School of Art. They had kids work on their own traditional skulls. They would decorate this copper skull by hammering stencils on to them. My son and I got to work together on this and it was a really cool experience for both. It wasn't crowded and the weather was great. Had some good eats. Good times!

Came here yesterday with a couple of friends. The lines to get tickets was so long, and not all of them were open. That was a little frustrating. Besides that I love everything they did. The art is great!

Love día de los muertos at hemisfair park! The parade is awesome and looking at the altars is so fascinating. Great cultural experience to take your kids to and I love that the san antonio community at large participates in presenting ofrendas. The Yelp booth was great and all of the booths and shops were top touch. Very wonderful cultural event!

The launch will begin at 8PM. 5 lantern selling areas will be available and lanterns are $5 each (cash encouraged) from 5-10:30 p.m. or until sold out. Only one credit card station will be available. You can pre-order lanterns online. Pre-orders can be picked up at the will-call station located at 368 E. Market Street. ******************************************************** The Riverwalk at night is beautiful. But imagine the splendor of viewing it filled with thousands of lanterns in multicolored hues floating downstream. This year's Wishing Lantern event was truly a sight to behold. It only happens once a year, but this is one event you should try to experience if you're visiting the Alamo City or just a local who has not had a chance to take part in the Confucious Wishing Lanterns ceremony held annually in celebration of the Chinese Lunar New Year. The 2nd Annual CWL event took place February 9 of this year (2019). Eco-friendly rice paper lanterns and lotus flowers of all colors were placed into the waters of the San Antonio River at dusk. The tone of the evening was reverent and reflective as masses gathered along the riverbanks. Messages were written on many of the lanterns to honor and memorialize loved ones who have passed on, and many of them had wishes and dreams scrolled along the sides. The experience was quite magical. The Parade of Lanterns is also taking place each evening from 7-9PM now through February 23. Riverboats carrying life-sized lanterns will be floating through the downtown portion of the Riverwalk; so if you're dining at a restaurant with the view of the river, request a window seat! Updated info for the event can be found at thesanantonioriverwalk.com webpage for event details, launch points, weather delays, and lantern sales. Admission is free and the event is perfect for all ages. I highly recommend attending if you haven't yet had the opportunity.

This is a really cool venue for summertime jazz, but it does get packed early. The event runs for…read morefour *sweltering* Fridays each July and starts at 7:30pm sharp (jazz musicians are prompt, it's a fact - look it up if you don't believe me). Tips for your first visit: It takes place in the amphitheater right outside of the food court and movie theater. The audience is in the shade by 6:30pm but it's still HAWT - bring water folks! They usually have two or three performers, with the headliner going on at 9:00pm. No coolers allowed since they sell beer and wine at the event. People set up chairs 5 days before the event. If you have a small group of 5 or 6 peeps you can roll in around 630pm and get a decent spot. Not the best view, but still a good spot to chill out and listen to the tunes. VIP area available too - PM me for tips on sneaking into that - I only share it with select people LOL. ;-) Not sure if they have port-a-potties or not, but I recommend using the indoor facilities located in the food court, right behind Goomba's Pizza Food trucks and beer booths on the premises. If the lines are too long at those, mosey on inside to the food court and get something pretty quick (and enjoy the air conditioning). Look for the Balcones Heights Fire Department ladder truck - they give FREE rides in the bucket and you get to view the entire venue! Do it early, because they shut down before the concert is over. Final and MOST important tip: Stay out of the fountain - the po-po will shut your party down! :)

The only complaint I have... it's July... and it's HOT!!! I attended the first event of the year 07/07/17 with local bluesman Ruben V (featuring Melina) opening for Rick Braun. I love Ruben V as I have been a fan for many years. The headliner Rick Braun was amazing!!! So much energy! and I love watched him switch up his trumpets. Balcones Heights Jazz Festival is FREE!!! I'm all about free events!!! Outdoor seating on the amphitheater lawn is on a first-come, first-served basis. You many start sitting your chair out on Mon... but after the show on Fri night, you must take it with you. Then come back on Mon to set it up again. (I know, crazy right?! Other events that I know of will let you do it like earlier same day but having chairs sit out there all week is just asking for trouble! I'm sure they blow all over the place or could be stolen. It really just looks tacky. Sorry being honest here.) Food and beverages are available for purchase from local vendors at a variety of booths, as well as the food court just inside the doors of Wonderland of the Americas. BHJF is family friendly but probably not pet friendly so leave the fur babies at home. Just remember it's hot so come prepared for the heat and stay hydrated. The mall has plenty of parking but get there early for best parking. On my way out, I took a pic of the CPS electric plug in stations. NO cars were plugged in... and ALL cars were not electric. To me, that is not only rude but should be illegal. If I had an electric car and need a plug, I would have been pissed! Well, I'm still mad, and that is why I took a pic and bringing it up. I feel mall security needs to be on alert about that. (pic was not uploaded here but it's on the mall page https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=e9OYmJlKyoC2MakLnAPJog&userid=Upa-u-26_RVnjoFsIimjaw) A big shout out to the Balcones Heights and Wonderland of Americas for hosting this annual event for over 20 years. Balcones Heights Jazz Festival is such a great community event!

No, it would be about 6:30pm. Anyway, all the usual organizations were there hawking their wares and medals. KSAT was prominent with local celebrities mingling with the crowd. One food booth was selling mini tacos and a small cup of corn for $3.67 plus tax. The best food deal there. Beer was $10 for a 24-oz can. Not terrible. It was the weather that was miserable. Hot and muggy. No real shade to speak of. A few of those beer garden-type tall round can tables with an umbrella. Sweat was dripping off of me. The saving grace was we could use the indoor Alamodome restrooms. Many people were just staying inside, cooling down. So did I for a while. Despite all this, it's a nice event.

With each new day brings a new bar, restaurant, shopping spot, coffee house etc. It's no wonder tourists and locals are discovering and rediscovering what our town truly has to offer. However, I have noticed as far as musical venues as well as events are concerned they have been slow in coming. But with the 2nd Annual Maverick Festival of 2014 I think that that might change. Like Austin's SXSW and ACL which makes that city relevant, last years festival was a success. It was interesting to see how a two day event versus a one day one would fair. And it appeared to work. I like how they mixed relatively new acts with cult followings and paired them with already established ones. For example Friday's lineup had trip~hop artist, SZA opening for Roky Erickson, who plays psychedelic era music from the 60's. Or better yet having grunge darlings, Candlebox on the same bill as Twin Shadow on Saturday seemed a bit odd. And yet it seamlessly worked out. The choice of La Villita Square as the musical venue to host the event was a pretty bold move and yet it paid off. I would have liked to have seen a festival of this magnitude at the Sunken Gardens, which is more spacious, but downtown was a good location as well. The staff and the sound (p.a) were immaculate. Lines for will call and to enter were never more than a few people deep. I think the first day I went there seemed to be some issues with entering and leaving, even with a wristband but by the next day those minor details had been ironed out. The festival's overall presentation of the show itself and stage setup were all top notch. Another thing that helped bolster it was adding a second and third stage respectfully on The Arneson Theatre and Juarez Plaza with local acts. Seeing bands like Carlton Zeus and Sunday, who were rocking out to barges of tourists on the Riverwalk, was certainly not lost on me. The ampitheatre was filled to the brim with punk rockers, metal-heads, skaters, families, unabashed selfies, etc. It seemed to be a celebration where every race, age, gender and socioeconomic one could imagine was welcomed. Since you were given a wristband on admission you could go and come as you pleased. This gave participants free rein to eat from the various food trucks there or have a drink elsewhere, which I'm sure people did. Or have one inside the show itself, as they were selling margaritas, mixed drinks of all sorts and Lite beers. There seemed to be this overwhelming laissez faire vibe and containment coexisting at the same time. While I did have a good time and the overabundance of acts meant there was something for everyone, I did leave with some concerns. 1.) The pricing for one day compared to two seemed a bit steep. And on the second day of the festival having the other stages for free probably had participants opting for the latter and keeping them away from the main acts. 2.) Sound checks bled into other artists set times and created that dreaded dead space. I would have doubled or tripled the back line for gear. And had volunteers help bands put and take stuff off the stage, which cuts down on time. 3.) With some artists thrown off schedule instead of having a stage for local acts elsewhere why not have it by the main stage instead. Pick select bands with a local draw and let them play while the sound on the main stage is situated. I really enjoyed myself at the Maverick Festival. Both days offered unique artists and I was exposed to new music I might not encounter otherwise. I found myself speculating which artist would blow up nationally, like Gary Clark Jr. did last year. I'm sure people will debate its success or ineffectiveness in the coming months, year. But in the bigger scheme of things this lifts our profile. Soon, you won't have to leave your city to see your favorite band. Very soon...

Both Public Enemy and The Flaming Lips put on a great show. I loved the stage with all the lights, colors, and confetti. La Villita is such a cool place with so much potential and it's nice to have it used for an event like this. I heard a rumor that this was the last Maverick Fest and I'm really hoping that's not true. I love the location because once it was over I easily walked my way over to Azuca and continued my night dancing salsa. I like that the wristbands are for both days for the festival and you can come in and out, that was really great.

I asked someone where the restrooms were and they told me across the street at La Villita. I ran across the street, only to find the place deserted and the restrooms locked up. I ran to the nearest hotel and relieved myself there (inside the hotel restroom of course, not outside the hotel). Now that I've relieved myself, I'm back at the event in Hemisfair Park. Here are the things I liked: The entertainment on the main stage. I got to experience the dancing, the culture, and traditions of the Indian people. Lots of different dance performances happening all night on the main stage. They were all very well choreographed and fun to watch. There were plenty of Indian food booths and beer available. All of them took cash and credit cards - you don't have to stand in line to buy tickets and then stand in line again to buy food or drinks. Ya' gotta appreciate that folks. Then there's the dance floor in the middle of the park with an awesome DJ playing a mix of American and Indian tunes. This part was really fun, everyone was dancing and having a great time. Make sure you stay for the fireworks. Here are the things I didn't like: The crowds. It wasn't as bad as NIOSA, but it was still pretty crowded. The lines for the food booths weren't long, but it was difficult trying to determine who was in line, who was standing around, and who was just walking through. But pretty much any festival is this way I guess. And I think I mentioned this before... where in the heck are the restrooms???

They always have food trucks and local Indian community members serving up copious quantities of Briyani, curries and chutneys. Be sure to get some Lhassi, a yogurt drink. They've moved this festival around downtown a bunch since San Antonio started doing it- so check the Current if you're looking for the when and where.

I think if you want to see the basic mechanics and setup of how this event works, you can refer to…read morethe other reviews. This is the most expensive of all Fiesta Events, as far as admission. The $100 dollar per ticket price tag includes four drink tickets, an unlimited sampling of all food items. There is no on-site parking, ride share options are relegated to certain areas. Three pick up and drop off locations throughout the event transport you by charter bus to the event. I'm probably stating the obvious at this point. I can only explain why my experience was underwhelming. Firstly heeding the advice of other Yelpers I got here early. Initially all the lines were at a minimal. I made a beeline for The Orginal Donut Shop only to find a health inspector, who (in)conveniently decided to check foods right at opening time. Whilst waiting people began filing in, adding to the already growing manicotti moshpit. By seven o' clock most lines wrapped around walkways. The result were patrons pushing, grinding and bumping their way through. A huge factor was the spacing of booths. This created traffic and you couldn't tell where one line began and another one ended. It was a huge clusterFUDGE! The thinking by fiesta goers is that the exorbitant price will filter out people, the elements that make the other events unpleasant; ie. overcrowding. This could not be further from the truth. On the contrary quarters were very tight. Anywhere you stand is to be in someone's way. In addition performance stages were brilliantly placed nearby food and drink booths. For example The Spazzmatics were performing right next to a barbecue and an Italian food vendor. It's like you could get a slider and rock out to Devo's" Whip it" at the same time. This made absolutely no logistical sense. I read another review that said that this is a classy affair. To me that is very subjective. It has more to do with selection than presentation. At that capacity most of the businesses were not out of the ordinary. In addition some vendors offered healthy sized samplings, like the Snooze Eatery A.M. But for the most part samples were bite size. I saw people wait an eternity in line just for a meatball. I'm wondering in the VIP area, which I never saw, if the selection was much better? Krispy Kreme did offer a donut shish kabob. And on the drink end I must confess I'm not into wine. Nor the spirits for that matter. I fancy myself a beer drinker and the selection would shock even Howard Stern. Mind you HEB was giving away free wine samples. But on the beer front they only had Stella Artois, Bud light and Karbach, which is basically Budweiser. For future reference they should at least raise their beer profile. Otherwise just serve me a Mickey's Bigmouth in a brown paper bag. Factoring in everything the vibe was very frat house meets a food sampling at HEB Central Marketplace. I understand that this event is for a good cause. I definitely would not take that away from them. However this event made me miss the grit, the campiness of all other fiesta events. The irony of fiesta is that it embraces royalty then mocks it. At this event fiesta-goers bask in class, status and super cool Stella Artois glasses, courtesy of the VIP section. Will I ever attend this again? Let's say as a San Antonian I have a Fiesta Check Off list. "Taste of the Northside." I did it. Now scratch it off.

I'm happy with general admission: 5 drink tickets and all you can eat from 50 or so restaurants. Fast food types all the way to Mimosa and Tejas de Brazil, Texas Roadhouse, sushi zushi, too many to name. Some are true sample size, others are fill-you-up size. You can go back as many times as you wants. So if you just have a few favorites, knock yourself out. Me, I eat it all. Ha, ha. Alcohol: Deep Eddy vodka, Avon tequila, serving full size margaritas for 2 tickets. By the way, more drink tickets can be bought 2 for $15, after you blow your free five tickets. Yeah, baby. Go there next year. By the way, all proceeds benefit the Brighton Center, doing good for children with various disabilities. 04/24/19 We like the way they opened it up in the back. How does Sonterra really feel about all of us tromping on their golf course? Anyway, it was the usual great event. Beer, wine and cocktail stations abound! They were everywhere. Each cocktail station prepared a different drink. The standouts: watermelon margarita, creamitini and the como la flor (yes, for Selena). They topped it with a small flower. Among the food: the Rustic, Kirby's, Pesto, So Hill Cafe, the Hollow, Cover 3, Maggiano's, Whiskey Cake, so, so many others. Music on at least 3 stages. Photo booths. What we really like is that you can park at various locations and be shuttled in. A bit of an adventure last night, though. Our bus driver wasn't too sure about how to get to some of the parking venues. One of the riders moved up by the driver to guide him. It is pretty dark out there. All in all, another great experience. If I may state however, more trash cans are needed as well as a more frequent emptying of them. Go there.
