San Antonio is throwing down the Fiesta gauntlet this weekend, offering everything from off-beat art performances to rock 'n' roll rage fests and a deep dive into local sports history. Tonight is kicking off with an aerial display of self-portraiture at Artpace, where, according to San Antonio Report, artist Jimmy James Canales will transform into a living kite in "Papalote Dreams" from 6-8 p.m.

Tomorrow ups the ante with GartenFest at Beethoven Halle and Garten, beer lovers rejoice with their fill of German brews and traditional cuisines like bratwurst and sauerkraut, meanwhile the Fredstock music festival at San Antonio College commandeers the stage for local bands Lemon Disco, Retro Cowgirl and Fea to deliver their toe-tapping tunes; all this according to the latest spill from the San Antonio Report.

But wait, there's more: come Saturday from 4-9 p.m., Lowcountry will crank up the volume for the Rock 'n' Roll Fiesta, with performances slated from Sunjammer, The Shut Ups, and the art-infused tunes of Powdered Wig Machine, for those who like to rock out with their artistic flair on full display.

Wrapping up the weekend, Sunday afternoon serves up a slice of history with "Home Base Heroes: Living Legends of the South Texas Negro League" from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the Davis-Scott Family YMCA on Iowa Street; this gratis event promised by the San Antonio African American Community Archive and Museum is not just about sports, it's about celebrating local legends and honoring a rich cultural heritage that shaped the game and the community, according to previous releases by the San Antonio Report.
