Enjoy Flowers

Alamo Heights Night

What is Alamo Heights Night? Is It kid-friendly, or should I get a babysitter? Where is it? These are just a few of the questions I have received, and I wanted to provide some answers.

Alamo Heights Night Admission: VIP – $200, Adults – $20, Kids 12 – 17 – $5, and Kids 11 and under & Active Duty & Reserve Military + UIW Students/Staff/Faculty are all free. (prices subject to change)

Alamo Heights Night Parking: Free – Free parking is available across Hildebrand from the UIW campus and at four Park & Ride locations:

Alamo Heights Methodist Church
Alamo Heights High School
Incarnate Word High School
San Antonio Zoo Garage (Tuleta St.)

Shuttle services run from 5:15 PM until midnight.

Alamo Heights Night Location: Incarnate Word University campus on Broadway – 4301 Broadway St, San Antonio, TX 78209

From Alamo Heights Night: Alamo Heights Night® is an outdoor event from 5:30 p.m. until 11:30 p.m. There is continuous entertainment from quality local bands and professional games and rides. Over 700 volunteers from local businesses and non-profit organizations participated in the event. Local restaurants and non-profit organizations operate approximately 100 booths. The Club operates multiple park-and-ride locations in the area to reduce the problems of limited parking at the event site. Funds are raised primarily from gate admissions, concession sales at the event, sponsor donations, and sale of merchandise such as T-shirts and fiesta medals. Alamo Heights Night® has been very successful, and the Club has raised over $2,400,000 for charity and the community.

Is Alamo Heights Night Kid-Friendly: Yes, however… I personally felt this was good for adults and teens, but not kids, especially littles. The first time we went, my kids were 4 and 6 years old, and they were bored, and keeping them entertained was expensive.

Alamo Heights Night Activities:

Food & Drink available for purchase
Watch the concerts on the main stage and side stage (the main stage band was awesome)
Play in the kids’ area on bounce houses & a few carnival games
Hang in the wine garden
They offer a VIP area

Alamo Heights Night Food and Beverages:

Savor a variety of cuisines from over 80 booths, including local favorites and traditional Fiesta fare. Beer and wine gardens will also be available for adult attendees.

Parent Tips if you bring the kids:

Wear closed-toe, comfy shoes
The Park and Ride was very easy to do
Bring money as the activities and food are expensive (bounce houses were $3 per kid per turn)
Bring hand wipes and antibacterial
Not real wagon or stroller-friendly, but you could make it work
Note – historically, the kid’s area isn’t near the adult’s area, so this isn’t a sit and enjoy while they play type of event.
