June will be an exciting month in downtown San Antonio!

The City's proposed deal with Frost Bank and Weston Urban for the first new office tower downtown since 1989 goes before the City Council for a vote on June 4th.  The deal would result in a new headquarters for Frost Bank, a consolidated office tower for City operations, 265 new housing units downtown, and a forever altered San Antonio skyline.

 

To celebrate our brand-new parking signage downtown, CCDO will be holding weekly photo contests this summer. Submit photos of you and your family and friends enjoying a night out downtown to CCDO's Facebook page, or email to downtown@sanantonio.gov. Winners will receive free downtown parking passes and other cool prizes!

Hope to see you at Margarita Madness June 23 at La Villita to benefit the United Way! Sample a variety of margaritas from your favorite Downtown Tuesday partners, for a great cause. 

Grab a blanket or lawn chairs and bring the whole family to Travis Park Tuesday evenings in June and July for Movies by Moonlight. As always, free parking will be provided by "Downtown Tuesday" at all City-operated garages and meters.

"Happy Father's Day" to all the great dads out there!  On behalf of the entire CCDO team, thank you all for your support of downtown San Antonio!
