Looking for a weekend packed with culture, music, and local flavor in San Antonio? Whether you're a fan of reggaetón or vaudeville, digital art or Western canvas, the city's diverse array of events has you covered. From the digital innovation at the San Antonio Museum of Art (SAMA) to the energetic beats of Don Omar, it's shaping up to be a vibrant weekend.
"The World of Irreversible Change," an exhibit that blends the old with the new, is now showing at SAMA courtesy of an international collective known as teamLab. Guests visiting the exhibit can expect a unique mix of analog and digital artistry themed around humanity's environmental impact. As reported by KENS 5, the exhibition is "exploring the relationship between the self, and the world" and will run through March 23, 2025, at the museum situated at 200 West Jones Ave.
Meanwhile, the west side's Guadalupe Plaza will host "La Carpa de La Frontera" Saturday night. Bringing with it a piece of vaudeville history, the show touches on sociopolitical themes, presented by performers from the neighboring localities of San Diego and Tijuana.
Music aficionados can end their weekend with a bang as Grammy-winning artist Don Omar takes the stage at the Frost Bank Center on Sunday. Renowned for his electrifying reggaetón, Don Omar is touring on the heels of his latest album, "Forever King." If reggaetón isn't your style, the Esperanza Peace and Justice Center is throwing its inaugural Todos Agua Festival from Friday through Sunday, spotlighting the importance of water through various forms of artistic expression. "A celebration of all things water," the festival includes everything from concerts to cacao ceremonies, aiming to foster connection with the natural world, according to KENS 5.
Cultural events aside, comedy and dance provide alternative entertainment options. The Tobin Center downtown will house belly laughs at the San Antonio Comedy Festival, while folk dance enthusiasts can enjoy the San Antonio Folklife and Dance Festival held at Rolling Oaks Mall, as detailed by MySA.
