Read Time: 5 minutes
Mrs. Doubtfire at The Majestic
When: Friday, Sept 18 (8:00 PM) | Saturday, Sept 19 (2:00 PM & 8:00 PM) | Sunday, Sept 20 (1:00 PM & 6:30 PM)
Where: The Majestic Theatre (224 E. Houston St)
The Vibe: High-energy comedic timing, rapid-fire quick changes, and 90s nostalgia under the atmospheric theater stars.
The Details: Broadway in San Antonio launches its season with the national touring production of Mrs. Doubtfire. Based on the beloved 1993 comedy, the stage adaptation features a full live orchestra, vocal acrobatics, and hilarious, heartfelt staging.
The Move: Book a 5:30 PM pre-show dinner reservation within walking distance on Downtown Houston Street, then head inside early to grab a cocktail before the curtain rises.
The Weekend Lineup
Brick Sunday Market & Vintage Pop-Up
When: Sunday, Sept 20 | 12:00 PM – 5:00 PM
Where: Brick at Blue Star Arts Complex (108 Blue Star)
The Vibe: Curated racks, local leatherwork, iced lattes, and relaxed riverfront browsing.
The Details: Brick opens its warehouse on Sundays for a curated maker market that skews toward secondhand goods, local crafts, jewelry, and the kind of stuff you don't know you need until you see it. The bar stays open; grab a craft beer or wine and settle in. It's low-pressure, walkable, and feels like the neighborhood actually shops here. The surrounding Blue Star complex has galleries and spots to grab coffee or tacos if you need a break.
The Move: Parking fills up fast; arrive by 1 PM or risk the street hunt. Bring cash for smaller vendors; most take Venmo. Hit Halcyon Coffee + Bar next door afterward for espresso martinis and tableside s'mores if the afternoon stretches long.
McIntyre's Southtown
When: Friday, September 18 | 2PM - 7PM
Where: McIntyre's Southtown, 1035 S Presa St, San Antonio, TX 78210
The Vibe: Massive patio energy with swings, dozens of draft options, and the kind of crowd that actually lives here.
The Details: McIntyre's is part sports bar, part ice house, entirely Southtown. The patio sprawls with swings at the bar, picnic tables, shade umbrellas, and zero pretension. Their happy hour runs 2-7 PM on Fridays with $3 domestic drafts, $4 craft beers, and $5 house spirits. Food trucks rotate, so dinner happens on the lawn. Dogs welcome, groups work here, and it never feels like you're getting ripped off.
The Move: Park on S Presa or in the Blue Star lot and walk over. Go early (before 4 PM) if you want swing seating. Stay through sunset if you can; the light hits that patio just right.
Free Dinosaur Adventure at Lakeshore Learning
When: Saturday, September 19 | 11:00 AM - 3:00 PM
Where: Lakeshore Learning, 327 NW Loop 410 #103, San Antonio, TX 78216
The Vibe: Prehistoric chaos in the best way. Slime, fossil digs, and hat-making without leaving the North Loop.
The Details: This is a walk-in free event for kids 3+. Stations include dino-inspired hat crafting, fossil excavation pits, and slimy ooze mixing. It's structured enough that kids stay engaged but loose enough that it doesn't feel like you're shepherding them through a maze. Parents get a raffle entry for a $100 Lakeshore e-gift card just for checking in. Bathrooms are clean, the vibe is family-friendly (not chaotic), and you won't spend a dime on entry.
San Antonio Museum of Art (SAMA) Free Community Access
When: Sunday, Sept 20 | 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM
Where: San Antonio Museum of Art (200 W. Jones Ave)
The Vibe: World-class galleries, River Walk architecture, zero admission fees.
The Details: Bexar County residents receive complimentary admission to SAMA's permanent collections every Sunday morning from 10:00 AM to noon. Wander through ancient Mediterranean collections, Latin American contemporary galleries, and Asian ceramic wings without opening your wallet.
Pro Tip: Show a valid local Texas ID at the admissions desk to claim your free pass, then walk out the back gate directly onto the Museum Reach River Walk trail for a breezy morning stroll.
The South Flores & King William Architectural Hunt
The Mission: Skip the crowded Sunday brunch wait and trade your morning for a golden-hour neighborhood scouting expedition. Grab an iced cold brew or topo chico, slip on walking shoes, and wander the tree-canopied streets of Texas’s very first historic district. Your objective: spot the intricate limestone craftsmanship, gingerbread Victorian woodwork, and hidden courtyard gardens of San Antonio’s Gilded Age mansions before the sun slips below the horizon.
The Reward: A peaceful, low-stakes Sunday wind-down that clears your head before Monday hits. You get massive shade from century-old pecan and oak trees, breezy riverbank views along the King William River Walk stretch, and easy access to a relaxed Southtown patio for a celebratory twilight sip.
The Spots (Scout your route):
Villa Finale Museum & Gardens (401 King William):
Start here. The 1876 mansion is the only major King William home open for tours. Even if you skip the interior, the gardens are worth the stop, and the gift shop has a helpful walking-tour map. (Suggested donation; open weekends.)
King William Park & The Steves Homestead (509 King William St)
Why it’s a legend: The undeniable crown jewel of the neighborhood. Built in 1876 with French Second Empire flair, a classic mansard roof, and carved native limestone that looks straight out of an architectural field guide.
Guenther House & Pioneer Flour Mills (205 E. Guenther St)
Why it’s a legend: Nestled right on the riverbend, this 1860s estate mixes Victorian and Art Nouveau details with sprawling arbor patios, historic mill architecture, and shaded gardens perfect for a scenic detour.
Beethoven Maennerchor Garden (422 Pereida St)
Why it’s a legend: Founded in 1867, this historic German singing society features an open-air, gravel biergarten tucked behind historic homes—ideal for a breezy post-walk draft beer or pretzel under the string lights.
See you out there!
