During the 1970s and 1980s, touring rock acts from Santana to Metallica performed there. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">SoundCream is partnering with Brackenridge Park Conservancy on the new disco series. Although recently underutilized, Sunken Garden still hosts local events ranging from goth dance nights and concerts by West Side Sound purveyors Eddie &amp; the Valiants to Fiesta\u2019s Taste of New Orleans.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Founded in 2017 by DJs Andres Rizo and Danielle Collier, SoundCream has brought the party to public spaces for nearly a decade, creating a ritual for those in the know and an unexpected delight for visitors who stumble upon it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cFor eight summers, SoundCream brought thousands of San Antonians to Pearl Park and Hemisfair to dance together under the open sky, completely free. No tickets. No barriers. Just community, music, and movement,\u201d organizers said in an emailed release. \u201cIt became a ritual. A weekly reset. A reminder that this city knows how to feel good together.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Sunken Garden series will run 7:30-10:30 p.m. every Thursday through July 30.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDisco Al Fresco 2026 will transform the Sunken Garden into a disco-drenched nature nightclub celebrating the full spectrum of sound that makes San Antonio what it is,\u201d the organizers added. \u201cReggae. Cumbia. Amapiano. House. R&amp;B. Dancehall. Tejano. Each night a different world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unlike SoundCream\u2019s prior free parties, Disco Al Fresco is a ticketed event with general admission priced at $5 plus fees. However, unlike Pearl, parking is free.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDisco Al Fresco is a movement to take nightlife into nature,\u201d the event\u2019s website states. \u201cCreated by two parents that were tired of the depleting atmosphere of the nightclub world, Disco Al Fresco wants to change how people go out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As such, the dance series is all-ages and family-friendly. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoalfresco.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">rest of the summer series<\/a> includes cumbia, reggae and beyond.
