La Villita Historic Arts Village

One of San Antonio’s first neighborhoods, La Villita was originally a settlement of primitive huts for the Spanish soldiers stationed at the Mission San Antonio Valero (the Alamo). After a flood in 1819, brick, stone, and adobe houses replaced the earlier structures.

Today, La Villita is a thriving art community that stands as a monument to San Antonio’s past. La Villita has five outdoor plazas, the Cos House, and Bolivar Hall to host your wedding, reception, birthday party, retirement celebration, and much more.

Additionally is the world-famous Arneson River Theatre where Fiesta Noche del Rio performs, as well as many other music events, ballets, plays, weddings and ceremonies, and much more!
