San Antonio has always been a great city for the arts, but lately, I feel like it’s becoming even more artsy. Ceramic studios are opening up, and more and more group/solo exhibitions are being held on a weekly basis. New bands form every day. It’s an exciting time to be a person with several hobbies. If concert-going is on your list of hobbies, as it is on mine, today’s giveaway might just help with that:

Brace yourself for a night of legendary beats, smooth moves, and wall‑to‑wall funk euphoria at the San Antonio Funk Fest at the Boeing Center on Sept 6. If you crave live music, retro rhythms, and nonstop party vibes—don’t fight the funk. Groove your way into the show with a 4-pack of VIP tickets.*
