NIOSA® (pronounced "knee-oh-sa") is a four-night event that celebrates San Antonio's diverse cultural heritiage with 15 ethnic areas that serve fabulous foods in over 250 food booths and provides entertainment to over 100,000 revelers.

NIOSA will occur April 22nd-25th, from 5:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. nightly during the city's 10-day Fiesta celebration. La Villita National Historic District - the 18th century Spanish neighborhood set on the banks of the San Antonio River in the heart of downtown San Antonio - becomes the venue for "A Night In Old San Antonio®".

Even though the gates close and coupon/alcohol beverage sales stop at 10 p.m. nightly, food sales and entertainment continue until 10:30 p.m.

Produced by 16,000 dedicated volunteers, this will be the 60th year. Ask anyone who attends NIOSA what the four-day event is all about, and just about everyone will say that it's about meeting and eating.
