Hemisfair and Centro San Antonio are bringing a man-made snow event to the downtown area this weekend. Centro has arranged with Mireles Ice to deliver more than 55-tons of ice to the drive-thru event to create the artificial snow. The free event will feature music, decorations, carolers, elves, reindeer and other animals, and socially distanced selfies with Santa. Visitors can enter at East Cesar E. Chavez and Hemisfair Boulevard from 3 to 5 p.m. Saturday.

Hemisfair is partnering with Centro San Antonio for a wintry drive-through to add to your family’s safe holiday season schedule. The free event on Saturday afternoon will include everything from twinkling lights to socially distant pictures with Santa all while celebrating the traditions of Christmas, Kwanzaa, Hanukkah and the winter season as a whole. If you missed that one winter a couple of years ago when it actually snowed in San Antonio, Centro is bringing back those feels courtesy of Mireles Ice, with 110,400 lbs. of ice that will be turned into snowflakes.

SAN ANTONIO – Bet you didn’t think you’d get a chance to drive through the snow this holiday season in San Antonio, did you?
Well, you can from 3-5 p.m. on Saturday at a free holiday drive-thru event hosted by Hemisfair and Centro San Antonio.
This isn’t the kind of snow that comes from mother nature, by the way. There’s no chance of snow in the KSAT weather authority forecast.
