Second, the 2010 Fiesta Events in San Antonio will be packed and I mean packed.  It’s well worth your while to have someone drop you off if you can find that person.  For example, Fiesta Oysterbake at St. Mary’s becomes deadlocked at noon meaning you will be waiting at least 30 minutes.  Don’t try to park at St. Mary’s unless you’re coming early.  Instead, park a few blocks away and walk the rest.  Homes in the surrounding neighborhoods will sell their “parking” for $10 a car.  I suggest parking a half mile away and walking the rest.

Another piece of advice is to simply come early.  You’ll get a better experience since there won’t be so many people crowding around you and you can go to more booths and carnival type rides (if that’s what you want to do).  As I wrote in a previous blog, Oyster Bake tickets are $4 cheaper (see how much are Oyster Bake tickets) if you buy ahead of time so you should purchase these before you go.  Also, you won’t risk waiting 10 minutes just to get tickets.

The Via Park and Ride is a service you may want to consider for traveling to and from Fiesta events but just remember than the buses often have to wade through the same traffic everyone else does (unless they get preferential treatment as far as drop offs).

As a quick guide to to the 2010 San Antonio Fiesta, I would eat beforehand to save money, bring sun tan lotion or wear a long sleeve shirt, wear sunglasses, wear very light and loose material clothing, and either arrive early or arrange for someone to drop you off.  Also, get discounts on Fiesta events by purchasing or buying your Fiesta tickets early.
