It’s a major milestone for Brackenridge Park. And the Brackenridge Park Conservancy is planning a Big Bash to celebrate the park’s 125th year.
The Brackenridge Park Conservancy executive director Lynn Osborne told 78209 Magazine all of San Antonio is invited for a day of fun that will capture the decades and generations of Brackenridge Park’s history.
Osborne says area residents should be ready to enjoy some 40-vintage cars, pony rides, petting donkeys, drives through the low-water crossing, live music from Santiago Jimenez, Jr., and much more! Food and drinks will be available for purchase.
The Big Bash will take place on Saturday, November 16, from 10am to 5pm on the east side of the river, by Lambert Beach baseball field. It’s all free, thanks to H-E-B, the presenting sponsor. The grocery chain will provide visitors with ice cream and “nibbles.”
Osborne explained the event is intended to rekindle some of the incredible memories many San Antonians have about the park and the fun family time many enjoyed there. For more information, visit the park online at www.brackenridgepark.org/.
