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
Chief Assistant Editor, Maria Frimble, presents her top picks for the Riverwalk on Labor Day.
I think the Riverwalk offers so much for friends and family to do on Labor Day. It's a bounteous gift, much like the way that Neptune - the God of the sea - provided fishes for the oceans, that enables us to reflect on how much the Riverwalk really provides for its guests and visitors. It's fair to say that if the Romans or Greeks had survived to present day, they would have believed in a Riverwalk Go
The Riverwalk's Poet Laureate and part-time freelance writer for the San Antonio Informer, Maria Frimble, sings the praises of the Riverwalk's entrepreneurial elite on paper using words.
The world-famous San Antonio with its unique Riverwalk that brings joy to millions, has always attracted talent. For this coming Labor Day weekend, Visit The Riverwalk would like to salute the Riverwalk's workers that strive to make it a cultural and economic powerhouse, and continue to hoist it up the Texan
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
Since its construction in 1982, the Tower of the Americas has been a shining beacon of excellence, wowing visitors and scaring neighboring smaller buildings. One of the few man-made constructions visible from space, it provides a constant reminder of the engineering excellence provided by a one-year diploma from University of Texas at the Riverwalk.
Yesterday, City Manager Jose Perez made a surprise announcement on NBC’s Today Show, which was broadcast live from the Riverwalk. In between a

For the greedy, photos and a lifetime of memories aren't enough, but here at VisitTheRiverwalk.com headquarters, we've devised the perfect solution. Build your own scale model of the world-famous San Antonio Riverwalk. We have produced precise instructions below, but send us your photos of your model an
The world-famous San Antonio Riverwalk has long been a magnet for the strange and unusual, and if you've been receiving premonitions about something exciting about to happen, that would be a vision of the upcoming Annual Psychic Fair. The July festival, which only takes place in years containing prime numbers or the derivative circumference of a small circle, guarantees fun and mystery for visitors of all ages, at least that's what the crystal ball in the Visit The Riverwalk offices is showing
July 4 is the day when San Antonians collectively commemorate our Independence and the defeat of Mexican troops at the Alamo in 1775. For many locals on the Riverwalk, it's an emotional day that combines profound history, the forgiveness of an old foe, and several pitchers of margaritas. The day is so significant to Texans that other states also celebrate it, in deference to the largest state in the Union.
The world-famous San Antonio Riverwalk considers July 4 to be the shine on the pearl on
San Antonians are proud of their city and apparently gay people are too, culminating in a competition this Saturday to see who exactly is more proud of the Riverwalk. We have heard from the organizers, Sandra Spear and Linda Shatner, two charming ladies with unnaturally short hair, that they intend to dye the river pink for the event, which is expected to attract 8,000 people.
We were curious to know how many gay people exist on the Riverwalk, but not "that" curious since everyone at this off
