There’s Lots To Celebrate As Pride, Juneteenth, and Father’s Day Take Center Stage
Now that the last school bells have rung, it’s officially time to dive into summer. Across San Antonio, the city has plenty of activities – all free or low-cost.
And with Father’s Day this Sunday, it’s the perfect time to treat Dad (or any father figure) to a festival, parade, or just some quality family time out in the city.
Whether you’re dropping the kids at summer camp, browsing a vendor at Juneteenth, or planning something special for Father’s Day — this week’s calendar is packed with ways to show up, cool off, and celebrate all across the city.
Here’s what’s happening:
FREE Events This Week: June 12-19

Juneteenth Film Screening: “Black Is… Black Ain’t”
📍 The Little Carver | 6–8:30 PM, Doors open at 5:30 PM
“Black Is…Black Ain’t” celebrates the richness of Black identity while confronting the pain of exclusion — whether for being “not Black enough” or “too Black.” The film offers a powerful critique of sexism, patriarchy, homophobia, colorism, and cultural nationalism within Black families, churches, and institutions.
Stick around after the screening for a dynamic panel discussion. Presented in partnership with Humanities Texas.
