Despite ongoing construction woes in downtown San Antonio, organizers of Night in Old San Antonio (NIOSA) have confirmed that the beloved event will maintain its traditional space in La Villita. Set against the backdrop of historic charm, NIOSA will continue to enchant attendees with its vibrant celebration of culture, cuisine, and entertainment.

The announcement comes as a relief to many festival-goers who were concerned about potential changes due to downtown construction projects. NIOSA, a cherished tradition spanning decades, will remain unchanged in terms of its footprint, ensuring that visitors can experience the event in all its nostalgic glory.

Despite the challenges posed by construction, the recent success of the River Parade, which drew in more than 250,000 spectators, serves as a testament to the resilience of San Antonio’s vibrant event scene.

This convenient option ensures hassle-free transportation to and from the event, allowing attendees to focus on enjoying the sights, sounds, and flavors of NIOSA without worrying about parking woes.

As preparations for NIOSA continue, organizers remain committed to providing a memorable experience for all attendees, preserving the event’s rich traditions while celebrating the vibrant diversity of San Antonio’s cultural heritage.
