Visit The Riverwalk is proud to announce the results of this year's historical Best of San Antonio (Riverwalk) Awards.
Despite the name change from Best of The Riverwalk after a legal challenge from Reno's Riverwalk, voting numbers were at record highs. 130,000 San Antonians and Riverwalkers voted over a two-week period that left local schools without classrooms for days.

The world-famous San Antonio Riverwalk, beloved by visitors globally and voted #1 in a recent VTR poll for responsible fun with alcoholic beverages, is known for its serenity, beauty and natural serene beauty.
But once a year, the Riverwalk likes to let its hair down, shampoo throughly with a a CVS all-in-one, and celebrate a Halloween mohawk by scaring visitors in some good ol' fashioned demented horror.
The Halloween Riverwalk, sponsored by the smooth taste of Coroner Light, isn't for the fa
The historic Aztec Theater on the world-famous San Antonio Riverwalk has had a checkered history of opening, closing, construction, reconstruction and finally reopening. Like a terminal but wealthy patient whose family expect the worst when life support is turned off, and yet mysteriously surviving and keeping its related vultures at bay from pecking its eyes out one more time, the Aztec has limped from the ashes in its latest reincarnation.
After two years as a large-format theater that attr
Grand Theft Auto, the record-breaking series of computer games that has literally pepper-sprayed the faces of The Sims, has finally come home for a long-overdue San Antonio edition. Inspired by a real-life incident in San Antonio's West Side, game creator Chris Moonbat has gone from living with his parents to being the only person in Texas who can afford the $600,000 penthouse apartments atop the relatively new Hyatt Hotels.
Moonbat, 26, created much of the game's action after an inciden

As a result of its enduring campaign against the excesses of competition, we’re delighted to bring you this exclusive report that – in celebration of the s
The most common feedback from visitors to the world-famous San Antonio Riverwalk is that they want to take a piece of the Riverwalk with them. Not satisfied with the life-long memories it provides, which outrank the majority of first weddings and children's births as being "Best Experience" in surveys, tourists are practically foaming at the mouth to find a way to keep their personal Riverwalk alive when they return to whichever dismal town they came from.

Visit The Riverwalk: The Book Of The Website
The world-famous San Antonio Riverwalk is a cultural, societal, economic and charasmatic center for us all, and enriches our lives more so than our families and loved ones could ever do. The Riverwalk never complains but always provides emotional support and now is the time to give back with the release of Visit The Riverwalk's new book, entitled Visit The Riverwalk, featuring all the web content and even more if that's even possible.

Contemporaneous Art Month - or CAM as it's known to locals and some tourists - is one of the biggest art festivals in the whole country, eclipsing many of the New York shows with its long and illustrious shadow, especially when the sun is low in the sky.
Lasting an entire month, usually June, CAM is even longer than Fiesta, showing the near-psychotic level of dedication by Riverwalkers to all things 'art'. The theme this year is 'the contemporary Riverwalk' which challenges the plethora of pain
Following the success of the Riverwalk's very own rapper, Riv-MC, with his hit single "Going 210 on Yo' Ass", gang membership has soared in recent months in the areas immediately off-Riverwalk. In response, ex-Planet Hollywood Music Director and current Visitor Events Consultant at the Conventioneer Bureau, DJ Spiderhat, decided to put the Riverwalk back in da house. The new campaign "Find Your Way" combines getting teenagers out of the criminal gangs on the west side with helping lost tourists
