Fiesta FOMO Fear No More: Your Guide to a Hilarious San Antonio Weekend

| What Events Are In San Antonio This Weekend |
The Lowdown on the Laughs: Comedy Shows
- Jester's Playhouse Comedy Club: Amateur Night (Friday): Channel your inner Rodney Dangerfield (RIP) or Joan Rivers (bows down) and sign up for open mic night! Win over the crowd (and maybe a scout...one can dream) or just enjoy the hilarious chaos of watching others bomb. Warning: May contain hecklers, awkward silences, and dreams of quitting your day job (don't worry, that's normal for comedians too).
- The Over Easy Comedy Caffe (Saturday): Need your laughs served with brunch? This spot offers up a side of giggles with your mimosa. Plus, who knows, maybe you'll get some comedic inspiration from your fluffy pancakes. Just don't try to incorporate them into your routine (been there, done that, ended up with a sticky microphone).
Get Your Groove On: Live Music and Dance Events
- San Anto Swing Society Dance (Friday): Dust off your dancing shoes (or those cute cowboy boots) and get ready to two-step the night away! Line dancing optional, but highly encouraged. Just avoid that awkward moment where you forget the steps and end up doing the Macarena instead.
- Local Bands at The Cove (Saturday): Catch some up-and-coming San Antonio bands belting out their tunes at this outdoor venue. Bonus points if you can name all the bands (extra points for knowing their lead singer's dog's name...but seriously, don't be that person).
Beyond the Beaten Path: Unique Experiences
- Wizarding School Summer Camp (All Weekend): Calling all muggles (or closet wizards)! This camp promises potions, spells, and all things magical (without the risk of expulsion from Hogwarts...probably). Just don't blame us if you end up accidentally turning your roommate into a toad (Accio Herbology class!).
- World Naked Bike Ride (Saturday): Feeling adventurous (or maybe just really hot)? Join this annual (and yes, exactly what it sounds like) bike ride to promote body positivity and environmental awareness. Sunscreen highly recommended...unless you're going for a bold new tan (we won't judge, but your grandma might).
Important Note: While some events may be free, others may require tickets or registration. Be sure to check before you go to avoid disappointment (and the awkward shuffle back to your car).
