NIOSA
(Night in Old San Antonio)
Night in Old San Antonio - or NIOSA, as it is more
commonly called - is one of the most raucous events of
Fiesta. It's also the one event where parents will need to
think twice about bringing the kids. That's because at
certain times on certain days, NIOSA is packed tight with
younger partiers guzzling down the beverages that younger
partiers tend to guzzle.
NIOSA is known for offering a terrific array of food
celebrating the cuisines of the ethnicities represented in
La Villita, the restored 17th Century village that hosts
NIOSA every year.
Among the food choices are anticuchos, escargot,
horseshoe sausage, cream horns, knockwurst and fried
mushrooms, to name a few. The non-stop musical
entertainment features western, R&B, conjunto, jazz,
oompah, mariachi and flamenco dancers.
The Antonio Conservation
Society presents, A Night in Old San Antonio (NIOSA)
- a four-night fun event. Every year more than a
100,000 people participate in the event, which is a
part of the Fiesta San Antonio. The village is
segregated into fifteen different cultural areas
during the four night celebration. Each group
represents San Antonian culture in various forms of
food, clothing, music and entertainment, a feast for
all your senses! The four nights are not restricted
to fun alone, but they help in preserving the
culture of San Antonio and educating the future
generations about the rich heritage. |
