Hi Shirley - This sounds like so much fun! I haven't been to Gruene, but we did visit San Antonio several years ago and I remember reading about this place. I loved San Antonio! I believe the name of our hotel was Hotel Valencia...it was wonderful and right on the RiverWalk
Hi Ann -- Gruene is a very popular destination here even when they aren't having a festival.
