Nestled in a lush green haven in the heart of San Antonio, the Veranda is an event space like no other. The original “castle on the hill” offers no less than seven event spaces to mix and match, including the 1931 estate house built of local stone, an artist cottage, an airy covered pavilion, and rolling, oak-lined lawns. In combination with the versatile international cuisine of Spice of Life Catering and a detail-oriented event staff dedicated to making your unique vision come true.

Take a stroll through the Japanese Tea Garden, which features a scenic enclosure with stone bridges, a pagoda, and the Jingu House Cafe. The restored garden has a lush year-round garden with many floral displays and shaded walkways leading you to a 60-foot waterfall with ponds filled with Koi fish. This historical jewel is ideal for small weddings, memorial services, and large corporate gatherings.

Join the walkers and roamers that lurk with the rest of the cold bodies at Zombies Bar & Live Music Venue, where you will encounter a heavy-metal venue with local and touring acts, horror flicks, karaoke, cocktails, and a long beer list.

The annual Poteet Festival gives Poteet strawberry growers plenty of locations on the festival grounds to sell their crops. Along with selling delicious berries, the festival features non-stop live music from nationally known Country and Tejano performers and local bands. There are gunslingers, a carnival midway, and live rodeo performances that include Bull Riding, Bronc Riding, Barrel Racing, and Junior Events that offer cash prizes.
