Historic Market Square Keeps a Downtown Market Tradition Visible

Historic Market Square shows San Antonio's Mexican and Mexican American market roots in downtown. The city-run district has more than 100 local shops and stalls around the plaza.

You find food, crafts, gifts, produce, long-running places to eat, and regular festivals there. That keeps the old market feel alive, not sealed up like a museum display.

For residents and visitors, Market Square is part of downtown's daily texture. It is where small shops and civic culture still meet in public.
