The Webb Party San Antonio 2024

The Webb Party San Antonio is the highlight of the gay calendar in San Antonio and is a lavish affair celebrated during the San Antonio Fiesta week.

• Stay close to the San Antonio Fiesta events at the San Antonio Marriott Rivercenter, rated “Excellent” by guests, just steps from the venue, recently remodeled.

The WEBB Party

• Next Edition – Friday April 19th 2024 – From 7 pm to 11 pm at The Witte Museum.
• The WEBB Party started in the early 1990s when a group of friends decided to throw a spectacular party and make it a fundraiser for the San Antonio AIDS Foundation.
• Local legend has it that one of the organizers owned an inspirational calendar that included the Ethiopian proverb, “When spider webs unite, they can tie up a lion.” The planners were so moved by the saying that they decided to call the party “Web.”But somehow, the word was misspelled on the first invitation – and never corrected. The rest, as they say, is history.
• The WEBB Party became an official “San Antonio Fiesta” event in 2004. It is now the San Antonio AIDS Foundation’s most visible and important fundraising event of the year, attracting approximately 1,000 guests and raising $100,000 for the organization.

The 2024 Theme

• Each year the theme is different. The theme for 2024 is “Moulin Rouge”.

The Venue

• The Witte Museum – a premier museum dedicated to natural history, science, and South Texas heritage. The museum features permanent and rotating exhibits that cater to all ages, including dinosaur skeletons, ancient artifacts, and state-of-the-art galleries that merge historical significance with cutting-edge technology.
• The Witte Museum is approximately 1.5 miles from the Tobin Hill district, which is known for its vibrant LGBTQ+ community and cultural events. Depending on the mode of transportation, it can take about 5 minutes to drive or around 30 minutes to walk from Tobin Hill to the Witte Museum.
• The Westin Riverwalk just 10-minutes from the venue, featuring spacious rooms and offering delicious breakfasts. It is close to all of the events held during the San Antonio Festival.

Gay San Antonio

• San Antonio is the perfect gay get away; a big city with a small town feel. The Gayborhood is in Tobin Hill, on North Main Street just north of downtown. The area is home to a twice-weekly farmers’ market, concerts in the local outdoor amphitheater, and the famed San Antonio River Walk only a short distance away.
• Make your fist stop Pegasus Bar (1402 Main St.) which features great drink specials and a friendly crowd. Fierce Fridays features $2 wells and $2 beers. Try the Shiner Bock or Lone Star beer.
• After, head on to Heat, a dance bar at 1500 N. Main. Luther’s Café and Bar is a fun venue and hosts a popular Wigstock Karaoke on Fridays.
• Dance the night away at the Bonham Exchange. The two-story building is located in an old German meeting hall. On Saturdays, they have strippers plus a great dance area on two floors.
• Don’t miss the Pearl District just north of downtown. The former brewery has interesting shops and restaurants.
