SAN ANTONIO (March 8, 2024) — Downtown San Antonio will welcome thousands of visitors for spring break over the coming weeks. Visitors are strongly encouraged to plan ahead and arrive early to downtown events to avoid expected disruptions related to traffic, construction projects and parking. The weekend of March 16-17 will be especially busy.
Visitors should consider using public transportation or ride-share, biking, walking, or consulting a navigation and traffic app, such as Waze or Google Maps. Visitors who choose to drive should give themselves plenty of time, plan where they will park in advance and enter the address of the parking facility as their destination address in the navigation app. Please celebrate responsibly and plan a sober ride.
