San Antonio is gearing up for a weekend that's jam-packed full of events that blend culture, art, and food with a dash of pride. The Esperanza Peace and Justice Center is setting the stage for the 6th Annual Queer Voices Pachanga tomorrow, promising attendees a night of powerful poetry and vibrant artwork. Poet Chibbi Orduña and artist Anel Flores are heading the event, which is kicking off from 4 p.m. till the clock strikes ten at night, as per details provided by the San Antonio Report.
If you think you can't mix arts and appetites, think again because Ruby City has other plans for you. This art center is celebrating the opening of its new photography-based exhibition 'Unsettled Eye' on the first of June, and yes you heard it right, there's free food involved. Korean culinary masters Sijang Korean Eats will be handing out free Korean corn dogs, come 3 p.m. until 5 p.m. And, no, your wallets can stay closed because Ruby City is not charging for admission.
Rhythm is going to take over the heated streets with a salsa social over at Cuba 1618. They're opening their doors tomorrow afternoon from 4 p.m. to a cool 8 in the evening. Salsa, bachata, merengue, and cumbia rhythms will be paired with an array of fresh mocktails to keep the vibes smooth and the dance floor hopping.
For those looking to dive into San Antonio's art scene, La Zona beckons. Still fresh on the downtown line, this venue is showcasing a retrospective exhibition bubbling with talent. It spotlights artists who've been part of Centro San Antonio's Art Everywhere project over the past four years, according to a celebration of the city's ongoing dialogue with public art.
