What to Wear in San Antonio in April
April in San Antonio is Texas spring at its most celebratory — temperatures from 59°F to 81°F with about 8 rainy days, and Fiesta San Antonio, the city's biggest annual festival, typically runs for ten days in mid-to-late April, filling the River Walk and downtown plazas with color, music, and crowds. Light, breathable layers in the city's Texas-heritage casual aesthetic handle the warm afternoons beautifully, while a compact umbrella manages the spring showers.
