Kabooooom! BLAM! BOOOOOM! This is where San Antonio gets…read moretheir fireworks. Alamo Fireworks always puts out the best circular ads before the major holidays for fireworks. Their ads have the best coupons, with several options to choose from for savings (hint: choose them all!) Their selection is fair, and they have a variety of different fireworks that do fun things, and of course the cool fireworks with awesome packaging. It seems that the workers tend to be a bit less experienced than Mr. W's employees. Often, the fireworks vendors didn't quite know what the fireworks did. The prices here were better than Mr. W's by about 10% often times on the items that I was buying. The fireworks are sorted by what they do mostly- mortars, aerials, ground spinners, firecrackers, etc. The employees have always been friendly, but it can be difficult to flag one down. Alamo Fireworks is always located outside of the San Antonio city limits.

What a beautiful gem in the heart of downtown. Hemisfair throughout the last ten years has evolved…read moreso much and has become a staple for the city. Not only does Hemisfair have plenty of children friendly activities including a splash pad and children's museum, but their paleta shop is so good. This is one of the prettiest parks you can ever come across. Nowadays they have plenty of dining spots and bars so go out and explore.

This is one of my favorite parks in all of SATX! They have so many events frequently and there is…read moreso much to do even when there aren't any events. It's smack in the middle of downtown and you can access the tower of the Americas through here as well. There is nearby parking (garage) or across the street by Dougb pizzeria. Their playground for kids is so big and has so many swings and apparatuses for kids to play in. Near the playground there's the pizza place I just mentioned, there's an ice cream shop, several other restaurants like; box st. as well.this place is definitely an SATX must visit! This is also where the dia de Muertos annual event takes place and recently we went to an Asian food festival.

They have a pretty good selection of small and big fireworks. I wish they had the different colors of metal sparklers, which I haven't been able to find in years. They did have some of my other favorites like the snakes, and poppers, and smoke bombs, and thoes swirly colorful things lol. They had a few deals like buy one get one free for a few of the smaller items which is nice. I'll be back for New year's!

Check for the shopping window (which days before the holiday they are open, and which hours) and shop earlier in the window for the most choices.

I have been to the Toyota Field for 3 different events: Coca-Cola Classic Christmas in Dec 2024,…read morethe Candlelight Drone Art Show in Jan 2026, and most recently the Harry Potter Drone Art Show yesterday in May 2026 :) ! For all 3 special events, me, my sister and a friend have had wonderful, fun and memorable experiences :D ! The parking is very well-organized :) ! The parking attendees are excellent in directing traffic, which is not easy at all! I personally think they do a much better job directing and streamlining traffic, compared to other venues like Dodgers Stadium in Los Angeles and the Verizon Amphitheater in Irvine, CA! Even when the traffic and parking can get busy, at least I don't feel like it's an absolute madhouse or zoo, like at most other venues! Security check-in is pretty smooth :) ! Toyota Field is getting stricter though. If you want to bring in a bottle of water, the top where you typically twist open the cap has to be completely sealed and unbroken. This is still somewhat better than the Frost Bank Center, which doesn't even allow you to bring in any sealed water bottles at all. Toyota Field generally does not allow outside beverages or food. Their food for the most part seems to be reasonably priced. But they are the typical confessions items, like hot dogs, soda and beer. Although, if you didn't bring any sealed bottled water with you, they do have bottled water available for purchase, to keep yourselves well-hydrated! There are also refreshing fruit cups and shaved ice for purchase as well :) ! My sister, my friend and I usually eat before we get to Toyota Field. So we haven't really tried their food or drinks. For Coca-Cola Classic Christmas in Dec 2024, there were a lot of great vendors and booths, a lot of great photo opportunities, as well as a great skating rink and slides :) ! If I remember correctly, I think the skating rink and the slides cost extra, in addition to general admission, if you wanted to try either of those. My sister and I loved this :D ! And it just so happened that this was San Antonio's very first Classic Christmas event :D ! The Candlelight Drone Art Show earlier this year in Jan 2026 was really beautiful and mesmerizing :D ! And I have to admit that, out of all the Candlelight events by Fever, this was the first Candlelight Drone Art Show that my friend and I had ever attended :D ! It was just really chilly and cold because it was held around the time of the freeze! It would have probably been more optimal and ideal if this was held during the warmer months, such as later in the spring or fall season :) ! Because my friend and I chose VIP seats on the lawn, we received complimentary Fever cloth lawn spreads, bottled water and snacks :) ! The Harry Potter Drone Art Show yesterday was spectacular and brought back such wonderful and nostalgic memories of the beloved books and movies :) ! Just like a lot of the other events, this one was also very well-organized. My sister and I got lawn seats. We brought our own picnic blankets so we could spread these out to watch the show. The weather was perfect because it wasn't too hot or too cold. And amazingly, towards the end of the night, there was even a slight breeze :) ! We will definitely come back :D ! And in addition to these special events, we certainly would love to catch some awesome sports events here as well :D !

First of all, where in the heck are the restrooms??? This event was held in Hemisfair Park and…read morethere were NO restrooms, porta potties, or otherwise. 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???

Namaste! This San Antonio celebration is such a great way…read moreto take in San Antonio's Indian and Hindu heritage! Diwali is a huge celebration in India, and this evening-time celebration is a fantastic scene. Expect lots of beautiful colors, where local Indians bring out their brightest saris and coolest jewelry. They do some music, and dancing, so kick off them shoes and participate in some Bollywood dance numbers while you take in the lights and music of the subcontinent. 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. My favorite Diwali moment was when they had the celebration at the Hemisfair, and they sold cheap little boats with candles that celebrants launched into the fountains, and they did a laser light show to some Asha Bhosle music! Hare Krishna! Hare Krishna! Hare Krishna! Be sure to check out this annual celebration. It'll take you straight from San Antonio to Mumbai!

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.

The entertainment can keep you going until the fireworks display to top off the evening.
