For a truly unforgettable experience, take your family to Lourdes Grotto & Tepeyac de San Antonio, where the Oblates of Mary Immaculate of the Southern U.S. Province is honored with a perfect replica of the shrine from Lourdes, France. The Grotto resembles the cave where the Blessed Mother appeared to St. Bernadette. Within the Grotto, a statue of Our Lady of Lourdes looks down upon Bernadette kneeling in prayer. Not only is this cave for devotion to the Patroness of the Americas, but the Tepeyac also honors the work of Oblate missionaries among Latino communities in the U.S., Mexico, and beyond.
It's Showtime at the San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo, one of the most prestigious single events in San Antonio where everyone can enjoy live rodeo concerts, the rodeo, livestock, and a fun-filled fair. Join in on the many fundraising events, such as the Tee 'R Up! Golf Tour, where you can enjoy a golf outing with thirty-six teams of five players vying for Tournament Champion. The Go Rodeo Roundup, where guests enjoy gourmet catering, a full assortment of beverages, live music, door prizes, and silent & live auctions. The Flight, a Craft Beer Committee event that features a dove hunt, dinner, drinks, and live music.
The best way to enjoy your day is at the San Antonio Zoo, where they bring exotic wildlife from all around the world directly to you. Make your zoo visit an adventure as you get the chance to watch the elephants play, listen to the hyenas laugh, and take in the sights of the lions, tigers, bears, kangaroos, hippos, and flamingos, to name a few. Make sure you stop by the giraffe enclosures and reach up to feed them right out of your hands.
