La Villita

La Villita is a small arts village in downtown San Antonio that has nearly 30 shops, art galleries, restaurants and other points of interest for adults and children alike. There is also the Arneson River Theater, where live performances take place with the audience seated on the other side of the San Antonio River and a few facilities available for rental including the Little Church of La Villita, which goes all the way back to 1879. Arguably the highlight of the year is the first full weekend in April, when the annual Starving Artists Show takes place. It is a three-day arts festival with artists and crafters from across the country converging on La Villita and much of the River Walk to sell their goods.
