I like the composition in this Night in Old San Antonio poster. Mariachi in the foreground and the city recedes into the background you even get a bit of the night sky. Makes me feel like I'm at the market eating some good food listing to some old time Mariachi sing.

NIOSA
I like the composition in this Night in Old San Antonio poster. Mariachi in the foreground and the city recedes into the background you even get a bit of the night sky. Makes me feel like I'm at the market eating some good food listing to some old time Mariachi sing.
NIOSA
This picture is of NIOSA which is NIGHT IN OLD SAN ANTONIO, I believe if I'm not mistaken and I like this picture the most because just by looking at the picture my senses start kicking in from the way you can smell all the different kinds of food to the mutter of all the people talking and the music seems to overfill all of downtown.I usually don't enjoy participating in all the fiesta activities but NIOSA is something I enjoy going to.
Fiesta
I have personally never been to Fiesta, but from what I have heard about it, it is filled with bright colors and beautiful costumes celebrating Hispanic culture. I found this image to be pretty intense both in color and elaborate decoration. It is really beautiful thing to see and must take a lot of time to create.
River walk night parade
When I think of fiesta I automatically picture the river walk and all the lights reflecting off of the water. Most of the festivities and Fiesta related events are within the general area of the river. For example, the Floats in the night parade and battle of flowers celebrations are the most memorable for me. The colors, music and food make Fiesta what it is.

Being fairly new to San Antonio, I haven't been to any Fiesta events as of yet. However, perusing the various images out there, I know that I would love the Battle of Flowers parade. I love the bright colors, the fantastic creative expression found in the various floats, and the celebration of the cultural heritage of the city.

Oyster Bake

This is the only event my parents and I ever attended during Fiesta. I always loved the various food booths and the different genres of live music. I got to see Better Than Ezra there actually!
This poster does a good job of telling the observer about everything that goes on during this event. From the music notes and guitars to the oyster logo with cowboy boots... a very clear story is told.
