Free Outdoor Evening Market Every Second & Third Wednesday | March – May
Experience one of San Antonio’s most beloved springtime traditions at our Night Markets — a vibrant outdoor market held every second and third Wednesday evening from March through May in the heart of the Pearl District.
Nestled along the San Antonio River Walk at 303 Pearl Pkwy., the Wednesday Night Markets bring together local vendors, artisan makers, and the city’s best bites in one lively, walkable setting. Browse handcrafted goods, discover unique finds from local small businesses, and soak in the warm Texas spring evenings surrounded by the Pearl’s iconic architecture and atmosphere.
Whether you’re a longtime San Antonian or visiting the Alamo City for the first time, Pearl’s Night Markets offer a quintessential local experience the whole family can enjoy — and best of all, it’s free to attend.
A Toast to Women’s History Month at Sternewirth and Jue Let
Saturday, March 7, from 4 to 8 p.m.
Join us as we honor Women’s History Month with a menu of specialty Maker’s Mark 46 cocktails inspired by dynamic women leaders (like Hotel Emma’s namesake, the great Emma Koehler), live music by Sternewirth Sessions favorite @kelbren.music, and custom bouquet gifts just for you. And while you’re at Pearl, stop in and say hello to our friends and neighbors at Jue Let, who’ll be hosting a celebration of their own in partnership with Maker’s Mark.
Everyone’s invited to come raise a glass to inspiring women throughout history!
Mini Golf at Pearl – Coming (very) Soon
The Pearl Ice Rink has melted away for spring, and blooming in its place is Pearl’s first-ever mini golf course! Opening in late March, visitors can expect an outdoor family-friendly experience along the course, dotted with famous San Antonio architectural icons (with some nods to Pearl’s storied past).
