Arneson River Theatre — Attraction in San Antonio

If you are visiting San Antonio for summer vacation, please take the time to look up the Fiesta Noche Del Rio performance and go! This event will be a highlight of my vacation and a perfect way to cap off our last night in San Antonio. Located directly alongside the San Antonio River Walk, this quaint theater would seem to be nothing more than a historic architectural remnant if not for the stage lightning and dance floor situated directly across from the amphitheater seating. At showtime, the location transforms into a lovely evening of music and dance, with the atmosphere feeling like you have been transported back to a simpler time. The performances are top notch, and the show hosts engage the crowd in a way that is fun for the entire family. The show spans many styles of traditional Spanish dance, but also includes the occasional nod to country, as well as pop culture selections (Despacito and songs by Selena). Live mariachi music accompanies a number of the dances, including a FANTASTIC guitarist whose solo performance is alone worth going to the show. Refreshments are available at the top of the seating area before and during showtime, although prices are rather steep ($3 can of soda and $6 bear). The only negative thing is the authentic stone work in the seating area. It is not kind to the behind, but cushions for rent were offered for $1.00.

I visited this river theater to attend Fiesta Noche del Rio. What a fun night!! I'm not sure what other shows they have at this theater, but ours included music, singing, and dancing. It was a great way to end our vacation in San Antonio. It is organized into an amphitheater style. You sit on grassy, rocky steps. Our event was renting out small seat cushions to make it a little more comfortable. There were concessions being sold and public restrooms. You can enter the theater seating from the riverwalk level or from the street level. There is not handicap access from the riverwalk level, only stairs, so if accommodations are needed, you would have to enter from the street level and stay at the top. We had an enjoyable evening and loved waving at the Go Rio river cruises floating by during the show. I would recommend bringing your own seat cushion, drinks, and a fan just to save a few dollars (one can of coke was three dollars). I dont know if those are the usual concession stand prices there or if it is specific...

Tried booking my wedding here. Was told the dates would be available. Then a few days later, after invites are made and my order is submitted, I get told that it’s no longer available. For the entire day. On a Sunday. What event is planned in late October for an entire Sunday that was overlooked? The person booking it told me she’s still learning the system but why didn’t she check with someone who actually knew what they were doing? the whole thing is a disaster and I do not recommend this venue for any event. Now I know that you pay for what you get - and that will include really bad service from whoever is in charge of booking the...
