    What makes it fun

    This amphitheater features entrances into La Villita Historic Arts Village and is situated on the banks of the San Antonio River. It has a capacity of 800 people. It is a one-of-a-kind venue for performances because the natural grass sitting area and the stage are located on opposite sides of the river. In addition to playing host to a significant number of wedding ceremonies, musical and dance performances, concerts spanning a wide range of genres, and theatrical productions all find their natural habitat in theaters. The world-famous Fiesta Noche del Rio as well as the Ballet Folklorico are both performed here.

    I caught the Fiesta Noche del Rio last Friday. The music and dance was excellent. I have lived in SA for 50 years and I have never felt more "San Antonian" than watching the Flamenco and Folklorio and Mariachi performances. There are several more shows scheduled for this season.

    Beautiful place entering la vallita with the smell of BBQ strolling into shops seeing art worth a trip down the Riverwalk for sure

    Fiesta Noche Del Rio show was fun and really conveyed all that San Antonio has to offer in culture, music, and dance. Show runs every Friday and Saturday night through August

    Been reading reviews about seat cushions. Honestly, I think it’s fine without them and I sat on the grassy steps for 2 hours. You can bring your own food and drink, but otherwise they have concessions during performances. Lots of restaurants nearby as well. It’s such a unique theater, always something to enjoy here.
