Dance the Night Away with Soundcream Airstream
What’s more lovely than dancing at sunset? SoundCream Airstream is getting you in the Valentine’s Day spirit with a special set by DJ JJ Lopez that is free and family-friendly. This community-based event will also have The League of Women Voters of the San Antonio Area that will be on-site to provide voter registration services and also Susan G. Komen San Antonio will be there to raise awareness of its work in the community.

So dance with us on February 14th from 6:30 P.M. to 9 P.M. at Pearl Park, 303 Pearl Pkwy.
