Summer Break is Starting off with Pride, NBA Finals Watch Parties, and a New COSA Launch of Downtown Thursdays
Summer break is getting started, and the city is already moving into full summer mode with free community events, family friendly outings and plenty of reasons to get outside before the heat starts acting brand new.
Pride Month is also bringing celebrations rooted in art, culture and community, while basketball fans have another reason to gather as the Spurs continue their NBA Finals run. Downtown is getting a new Thursday night rhythm with music, food and free parking making it easier to stick around after work. Between the Spurs watch parties, outdoor movie nights, markets and cultural events, again the city has a little bit of everything for families, friends and anyone trying to ease into summer without spending too much.
