Outdoors, programming can be situated on the front porches / facades of 6 historic homes and 1 gazebo, within the family friendly Yanaguana Park, on 1 stage, and off the newly renovated E. Nueva Street. Luminaria expects more locations within the footprint to be confirmed. The festival will be accessible from Alamo Street and from the San Antonio Riverwalk. Luminaria welcomes specific location requests, but will make final placement decisions within the footprint. Luminaria provides basic site, staging, lighting and electrical needs.
