Was thinking of visiting San Antonio week commencing 11th June, did I read somewhere that there is some kind of festival on, or am I mistaken?

You%26#39;re probably thinking of the Texas Folklife Festival thta is held on the grounds of the Institute of Texan Cultures in Hemisfair Plaza. The dates this year are June 8-10. The Festival celebrates the contributions in food, music, dance, and crafts of immigrants to Texas from more than 40 nationalities/ethnic groups. I%26#39;ve heard that this festival served asthe model for the National Folklife Festival held on the Mall in Washington.
You%26#39;ll find an amazing variety of ethnic treats, entertainment, demonstrations, storytelling, and music. The Festival%26#39;s wesite is:

SARider is right on! It%26#39;s a great festival - not too crowded, but big enough to make it interesting. Weather can be hot (not as hot as it usually gets in August when it used to be held) so be prepared.
