This is a blog run by students to inform other students of all the cheap & free events going on here in San Antonio. All four of us will be attending a variety of different events over the next few weeks to offer you all a variety of fun! Some of the events we will be attending will be live bands, museums, ghost tours, other cool things going on in town!
On November 2, 2013 I attended the Dia De Los Muertos
Celebration located in the Square Market here in San Antonio. It was an event that started at 10 am and ended at 5pm. The Dia De Los Muertos Celebration was a free event the only thing I had to pay for was the $5 dollar parking and any food or fun I wanted to take part in. The event kicked off with a parade that had float decorated with sugar skulls and skeletons. The people on the floats were dressed as skeletons and had detailed face painting. Since the celebration was on saturday and sunday the normal events going on in the Square Market added to the festivities of the event. After the parade everyone just walked around and enjoyed all that the Square Market had to offer on this day. Both children and adults flooded the Square Market walking around in costume and face paintings to make them look like the sugar skulls and skeletons. Along the sides of the Square Market there was face painting, food, vendors selling paintings, jewelry, and hair wrapping. I decided to get my hair wrapped with color strings and enjoy a cup of street corn. This event was a fun and free event that had many opportunities to partake in the festivities of your choice. The Dia De Los Muertos Celebration is the perfect event to have fun and get a taste of the culture that San Antonio has to offer. I recommend that anyone who is looking for some San Antonio fun attend this event next year.
