Link coming soonAirbnb & private camping
Downtown San Antonio/River Walk/HemisFair area has active Airbnb inventory year-round given the tourist-heavy district. The festival is a family-friendly heritage festival, not a large ticketed destination event.
Search AirbnbNo Hipcamp inventory sits within downtown San Antonio itself (dense urban core, not campable private land). Texas Hill Country to the north/northwest (Bandera, Boerne, Bulverde areas) has a substantial surrounding Hipcamp inventory, roughly 30-60 min drive out, as an alternative-lodging option for attendees combining the festival with a camping trip rather than a downtown hotel stay.
