Your outdoor event essentials: cash and ID, clip for hair, camera, cab fare. From First Friday to Fiesta, you know the drill for getting the most out of SA’s festivals for the rest of us.

Carry your clutch – you’ve learned from experience to keep hands free for imbibing – to Luminaria this Saturday, March 13th. The free outdoor art gallery stretches across downtown, and it’s a feast for the senses. Meet the makers of contemporary works, glass-blown objects, photography, murals and paintings, before strolling past live performance art, film, dance, readings and tons of musical acts. You’ll have a chance to relax with snacks from local food and drink vendors, before perusing for pieces to call your own.

After all, you’re a patron of the arts – just as long as the piece fits in your purse.
