San Antonio | The Saga - San Antonio (TX)

5 /5 Casey Nicole: Absolutely phenomenal!!!!!! It amazes me how many people in San Antonio have not seen this. It reminded me a little bit of the immersive van Gogh experience. The music always went really well with the artistry. I wish I knew where the projectors were lol I couldnt find them anywhere! I got there about 20 minutes before the show started so I could get a front row seat. This is something that I would do every single time that I am in San Antonio. And its free! Its so awesome that the city has invested in this and continues to do this every night.

5 /5 Cindy Haaker: This 23 minute free show has been on my bucket list for a long time and I wasn’t disappointed! Beautiful tribute to Texas history which was artistically done and set to very fitting music. This is an amazing gift to the community and greatly enjoyed & appreciated. Thank you for providing this experience!

4 /5 FreeDreamStudios: This spectacle in the middle of downtown San Antonio is a secret treasure, but it’s not without its flaws. I confess that I have been to the show twice unfortunately, the first time that I went to the show, it did not even turn on. It turns out that they were having technical issues and myself, and the other 200 people that had gathered were left without a show to see. Granted this is a free show so you can’t complain too much. However, it is also a unmanned show meaning that there is no one to talk to if things do go wrong and you have spent, as I did, three hours driving to see the installation only to be disappointed. There’s nothing really you can do. I went again at the 10th anniversary of the saga. The show is a beautiful art installation that tries to convey the story of San Antonio Antonio through the universal language of art and music. While this gives a certain timelessness to the art, hence the reason it has been around for 10 years, this can make it very confusing, even convoluted since they are trying to cover all of Texas history from prehistoric through the Alamo to modern day in 24 minutes using only art and music. It is amazing what they were able to accomplish in 24 minutes and yet the show is 10 minutes too long. So would I recommend people going out of their way to see the saga? Yes and no. It is a beautiful art installation, but you do take the risk of it not working when you get there which can leave you or your family to be incredibly disappointed. If you were going to go, I would go early so you were able to get a seat since the show is honestly too long to watch standing. I might read up on Texas history before you go so that you are not lost in amongst the lights.

5 /5 Keith Youngblood: What a cool building and an awesome light show. Well worth seeing. Park in the City Tower Parking garage and walk right across the street. Parking after 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday is free. During the day parking is one of the cheapest in town.

5 /5 The Stork Got Lost: Great experience the Saga is free and runs from 9 -10 every night but Monday. We attended on a Tuesday which was not too crowded. There is a nice park with some seats available to enjoy but get there early if you want to use those. We spent time over by Pinkertons playing singo and waiting for the show then walked over around 10 minutes before.
