Remarkable Tales of Orchids

Orchids are more than just pretty bursts of color. Today, you’ll learn just how diverse and intricate their biology is.

Starting with an exclusive preview of the Orchids: Colorburst exhibition coming to the Botanical Gardens, this event will have you wishing spring could come sooner. Last year we saw the orchids scaling all the greenery in the Botanical Gardens’s exhibit room, so I can’t wait to see what they have going this year.

Nisa Kirami will discuss how they have evolved to attract pollinators and their interesting biology, highlighting species found in Texas to the Andean Cloud Forests.

While the event is free, it can be a challenge to find parking. Riverbend Garage is right across from the Briscoe, making it close and affordable.

When: Friday, January 31, 2025 | Exhibition preview from 5 pm – 6:30 pm; Lecture from 6:30 pm – 7:30 pm
Where: โ€‹The Briscoe Western Art Museum, 210 W Market St, San Antonio, TX 78205

Hear ye! Hear ye! Come to the Kerrville Ren Faire and be delighted with great entertainment, handmade crafts, fantastic food, and plenty of fun and games!

While it may be a smaller Ren Faire, there are plenty of activities, performances, and opportunities to shop and spend your day. Some prefer the micro-dose of festivities, while others consider it a “warm-up” for larger faires like Sherwood.

Plenty is going on at all times, from Vinland Texas Vikings reenactments to the Dublin Harpers musical show, carriage rides, and so much more. To know more about the shows and activities, you can check their website for more details.

Little Artist Workshop (5 years and younger)

Kids Activities in San Antonio this Weekend

Your baby might just be the next big name in a museum! Bring them to this workshop where they get to explore textures, create with colors, and just get messy!

More than that, they’ll learn proper studio habits, like caring for their tools, accepting challenges, talking about their work, and exploring different materials.

We love the DoSeum when we have time for it. Make sure you plan extra time for your kids to roll down the grassy hill out front (if you don’t know yet you soon will). 

There is a free parking lot, but it can fill up quickly. Weekdays are usually fine, but I suggest giving yourself extra time just in case.

When: Friday, January 31, 2025, 12:30 pm – 1:30 pm | Every Friday & Sunday
Where:
The DoSeum, 2800 Broadway, San Antonio, TX 78209
