There’s no need to feel down if your plans to hit the coast or someplace further flung for spring break fell through.
Break-worthy activities are happening across downtown San Antonio through a good portion of March, including in Historic Market Square, at La Villita Historic Arts Village and along Houston Street. Here’s quick rundown, courtesy of city officials.
Sana Sunday: Taekwondo Self-Defense
Free, 10 a.m.-noon Sunday, March 8, 418 Villita St., (210) 207-8614, lavillitasanantonio.com.
If you’re looking to improve your personal safety while finding a fun way to burn calories, Sana Sunday is offering a free course in taekwondo self-defense skills. Chris Navarro, owner of Navarro’s Taekwondo Academy, will teach you a variety of moves. You may even master seogi, makgi and chigi.
Craft Tuesday: Decorated Planter Pots
Free, 6-8 p.m. Tuesday, March 10, 418 Villita St., (210) 207-8614, lavillitasanantonio.com.
Need a place to take the kiddos while school’s out? Let them join La Villita’s craft night, where they can decorate a plant pot and even take home a complimentary succulent. Heck, why not join in and make it family outing. Online registration is required for this event, but don’t fear. If you miss it, there’s always next month.
St. Patrick’s Day Festival and River Parade
Free, Sunday and Monday, March 15-16, 418 Villita Street, thesanantonioriverwalk.com.
Why should the river be blue (or, more accurately, brown)? This annual two-day festival will fix that and offer a great excuse to drink beer in celebration. Along with a variety of different events, Visit San Antonio and The Harp and Shamrock Society of Texas will dye the San Antonio River green — with eco-friendly dye, of course — and host live entertainment for you to pinch your friends to.
Market Square Spring Fest
Free, 10 a.m. Thursday through Sunday, March 12-15, 514 W. Commerce Street, marketsquaresa.com.
With four days full of Spring festival events, you can still feel like you’re on vacation. Starting at 10 a.m. daily, you can enjoy live music, food and a multitude of activities.
Market Square Weekends: Live Performances, Local Eats and Art in Action
Free, 10 a.m.-6 p.m. every weekend, 514 W. Commerce St., marketsquaresa.com.
You haven’t fully experienced San Antonio culture until you have visited Market Square on a weekend. Artist and food booths line the square, and the people-watching can’t be beat. If that’s not enough, the shops and restaurants are top-notch and puro San Anto.
Lunch Break on Houston Street
Free, 11 a.m.-2 p.m. Thursday, March 5 and 19, 224 E. Houston St., Instagram.com/satxfoodtrucks.
What’s spring break with indulging in great food while not paying attention to one’s waistline? Twice during March, food trucks will assemble outside the Majestic Theatre, offering a chance to grab a taco (or something more exotic), walk around and enjoy the live music and downtown sights.
