San Antonio Report

Welcome to the third annual San Antonio CityFest! Join us October 5-9 for this year's virtual festival on Urban and Statewide Resiliency.

From October 5 - 9, 2020, San Antonio Report will host its third annual San Antonio CityFest, a free virtual urban ideas festival. In response to the impact of the global pandemic and renewed call for racial justice, the theme of 2020 San Antonio CityFest is “Urban and Statewide Resilience.” The programming will be rich and varied, addressing many of San Antonio’s challenges and opportunities and connecting civic, business, and cultural leaders from across the city, state, and beyond with San Antonio’s most engaged citizens. <a href="http://www.cityfestsa.org/schedule/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Panel discussions and keynote speeches </a>will address our city&#x27;s problems and challenges and spotlight innovative solutions. With a momentous election approaching this November, San Antonio CityFest provides community members the opportunity to hear directly from civic leaders on how they envision San Antonio will move forward beyond the global pandemic.
