St. Patricks Day- Destination: Free Fun in San Antonio

St Patrick's day is coming up! Another reason to hang out around town and have fun with friends! This weeks free fun will be in celebration of St Patrick's Day! Every year since I’ve been in San Antonio, I like to go to the River Walk to see the water be dyed, even more green than it usually is, But since it falls on a Monday this year, I will be indulging in my traditional celebratory green beer on the San Antonio Riverwalk on Sunday (I may end up going Monday too, lol.) But also, this Friday-Sunday, Check out the Boardwalk on Bulverde! The Boardwalk is San Antonio's first ever "food truck park," known for the vast array of delicious food trucks that gather, but this St. Patrick's Day Weekend Celebration will offer many more amusing attractions than just food! Bring out the family, including your furry children for a good ole time!
