In Honor of World Water Day 2024 Cochineala: A Creative Confluence Festival of Nature and Art Focused on Bioluminescence

Come get your glow on at Cochineala: A Creative Confluence Festival! Inspired by the mystical cochineal, a small insect that lives on prickly pear cactus and is the ancient, much-prized natural source for vibrant, scarlet red dye, San Antonio’s Cochineala series utilizes art as a medium for exploring scientific endeavors through the creative lens of local artists and musicians. Set against the beautiful backdrop of the San Antonio River, Confluence Park serves as the jaw-dropping main stage for a lively blend of live music, dance, storytelling, poetry, screen printing and interactive, creative activities.
