Things To Do In San Antonio | March 2023 10 Exciting Events
March is an excellent time to find fun things to do in San Antonio. In my opinion, March is a great time for visitors and residents alike to get out and enjoy San Antonio events because the weather is enjoyable and well under the triple-digit heat we endure in the later summer months. So whether you are looking for indoor or outdoor things to do, I’ve got you covered here today. Each month I put together a short list of some of those events and share them on my Youtube, Facebook, and website. Hopefully, that’s enough to help you get your calendar squared away with some ideas. If you enjoyed an event on the list or one you think others would enjoy, let me know in the comments.

New York Magazine adds, “Watching Tomlinson gives you the same comfort as a Swift concert or a Broadway show that’s been on for years. This is a professional. This performance will be ultraproduced. You do not need to be anxious,” and the Los Angeles Times observes, “Even when she’s navigating painful waters, she can’t help but find the humor… her wit and pinpoint delivery reveal both an incisive writer and also a talented actor.”

San Antonio Event #9
Are you in the mood for some R&B? Don’t miss the Soul II Soul Tour
“This tour is a reunion of sorts for Kem and Ledisi who previously toured together on his Intimacy Tour in 2011 and last united in song at the Soul Train Awards 2014 to perform the duet “If It’s Love.” The soulful pair have enough hits and album cuts between the two of them to keep audiences entertained for hours, but they’re making room for another heavy hitter on the bill as the show’s opening act. Musiq Soulchild will be their special guest, and he’ll surely bring his deep catalog of songs with him for the cross-country journey.”
