Take part in a dynamic experience as you learn about stars, planets, black holes, and distant galaxies at the Planetarium - The Scobee Education Center at San Antonio College. Every Friday night, the planetarium opens to the public, so they get a chance to stargaze and see digitally-created images of stars, planets, and galaxies fill the night sky. Housed atop the iconic blue Charles E. Cheever, Jr. Star Tower, the Scalan Observatory houses a 10-inch refractor telescope and features a 360-degree rotating dome and panel that opens 90 degrees, enabling stargazing in any direction.

Boot scootin' boogie your way to the Thirsty Horse Dance Hall, a no-cover country-western dance club with live music by up-and-coming bands. Enjoy the mix of classic and modern country songs as you dance or nurse your drink at one of the three bars filled with drink specials you are sure to love. Absorb the great vibes, watch the toy horse races, or join in on a game of pool as you surround yourself with the welcoming company.

The annual Poteet Festival gives Poteet strawberry growers plenty of locations on the festival grounds to sell their crops.

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.
