We invite you to our 15th Annual Paseo por El Westside, a cultural and historic preservation community gathering on the Westside of San Antonio on Saturday, May 4, 2024 at Rinconcito de Esperanza (816 S. Colorado)
As part of National Historic Preservation Month, Paseo por El Westside celebrates San Antonio's Westside history, culture and people, offers Westside and San Antonio residents and visitors alike, walking tours of the historic westside, a neighborhood that has always been portrayed as the “bad side of town,” and shares the history through its architecture, culture, sacred spaces, and political struggles such as the struggle against the destruction of our casitas and the displacement of our gente.

Additionally, the Paseo por El Westside festival includes musical performances, Mexican children’s games and songs, art vendors, workshops on kite and piñata making, identifying pan dulce by name y mucho más! In addition, it’ll include fotobanner tours through the Westside, demos, food, live music and poetry readings. AND This year, attendees will get a glimpse into the Museo del Westside which is still under construction.
This event is intergenerational at the core with activities for all ages.
Admission is FREE and the event is family friendly and open to the public. The whole family is invited whether they were born and raised in the Westside or simply enjoy cultural festivities honoring San Antonio’s heritage.
Our women's clay cooperative, MujerArtes Cooperativa de Esperanza will have an exhibit & sale during Paseo.
