Brack Bash
Head to this second annual celebration of one of the city’s biggest parks, with live music, family-friendly entertainment and local food vendors.
Before becoming one of San Antonio’s oldest parks, the area known as Brackenridge Park was treasured for its many water springs. The springs provided water to missions in the area, such as Mission San Antonio Valero — now known as the Alamo.
Brackenridge Park has served as a gathering place for 12,000 years with Native American artifacts found in the area dating back as far back as 9,200 B.C.
This year, the park celebrates 126 years since its founding with its second Brack Bash from noon to 4 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 15 at the Sunken Garden Theater.
The Brackenridge Park Conservancy is inviting San Antonians to its second annual Brack Bash, a free community celebration honoring the city’s historic park. The event takes place Saturday, November 15, from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the Sunken Garden Theater in Brackenridge Park.
This year’s Brack Bash brings together live music, family-friendly activities, and local eats in one of the city’s most scenic spots. Highlights include Los Viejitos car club’s vintage car show, face painting, chalk art, a petting zoo, and food trucks offering a variety of bites.
SAN ANTONIO — Brackenridge Park Conservancy is offering back-to-back fun for kids and parents this weekend.
The free festivities kick off Friday, Oct. 24 with Trick or Treat on the Trail from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Koehler Pavilion. The annual event, presented by Ghisallo Cycling Initiative in partnership with Brackenridge Park Conservancy, transforms the park’s trails into a safe, car-free trick-or-treat route. Families can expect candy stations, costumes and Halloween fun for all ages.
Brackenridge Park isn’t just one of San Antonio’s favorite green spaces—it’s a place with stories stretching back hundreds of years.
And now, exploring that history just got easier.
The Brackenridge Park Conservancy has rolled out a brand-new guided art map, making it simple to track down the park’s hidden treasures—statues, sculptures, and pieces you may have walked past without even realizing.
Brackenridge Park’s annual fall tradition is getting a new look this year.
Brackenridge Park Conservancy announced the original Parktoberfest is paused until 2026 after fewer breweries signed up amid recent closures. Unfortunately, many free community events like Parktoberfest have been impacted by this decline in the last few years, according to organizers.
A new amenity planned for Brackenridge Park is moving forward.
The Brackenridge Park Conservancy, the organization that manages the hundreds of acres of green space in the urban core, is seeking the Historic and Design Review Commission’s (HDRC) approval to build a new playground on its northern edge.
Brackenridge Park is already a favorite spot for family fun and outdoor adventures, but now, it’s also a destination for art lovers! The park is offering a free walking tour that highlights hidden sculptures scattered throughout the grounds.
We spoke with Susan Budge, a talented sculptor whose work is featured in the park, and Lynn Osborne Bobbitt, Director of Development, who shared the story behind this unique project. Since 2015, sculptures have been quietly installed across Brackenridge, creating a trail of artistic discovery.
San Antonio’s Brackenridge Park Conservancy is putting the spotlight on public art with a new online map that tells the story of the beloved destination’s nearly 20 sculptures, statues, and trailhead markers.
The interactive map is a part of the conservatory’s newly revamped website. Each listing gives a history of the installations — many crafted decades ago — along with other interesting facts like the artist’s inspiration.
