Most people know that San Antonio is home to the Alamo and the River Walk, but what may be a surprise is that these two landmarks are located in the crossroads of four diverse ecosystems.

Brackenridge Park

San Antonio is a land where varied native plants grow and sundry rivers flow; where migratory, shore, and inland birds fly; where artisian springs tell of aquifer water deep below.  Its riparian lands bear evidence of human existence dating back thousands of years.  It boasts five Spanish Colonial Missions and a trail system linking them; vast wetlands, grasslands, and canyon lands; reptiles, bat caves, and a botanical garden.  The region supports all this--and the nation’s seventh largest human population.

WildFest San Antonio invites you to celebrate this convergence of natural and historical environments.  We have selected our finest natural and heritage venues for you to visit.  We have hand-picked an assortment of wise and colorful folk to guide you along your way.
