Free Things to Do in San Antonio this Weekend

Free Week

You don’t have to spend a dime to have an amazing night. Head over to Paper Tiger and watch a plethora of bands take the stage over the weekend. While the place isn’t quite the White Rabbit it used to be (OGs will know), it’s still one of the best venues in town.

Performers include Alex Beltrán, Baby Bleu, Bash*, Beware of Dog, Booher, Cement Driver, Collective Dreams, D’SZVR, Dance Like Robots, and so many more!

Parking can be a bit of a mess, so I suggest using a ride share if you can or showing up early to find your spot. You can also find plenty of bars in walking distance, although this cold weather may not make that feasible.
