New outdoor ‘Market Days’ at La Villita aimed at reviving historic arts village

While La Villita tenants are struggling to attract visitors due to construction that has blocked South Alamo Street for more than a year, they’re hopeful that new programming announced Monday by Chef Johnny Hernandez will bring more traffic to the beleaguered historic arts village.

“It started with Covid and then three years of construction, and we haven’t had a moment of relief,” said Calvillo Cerna, who manages Yolix Luna Fine Art shop. In 2020, the San Antonio City Council approved four months of rent abatement for tenants at La Villita and Market Square while the destinations were shuttered in the early days of the pandemic. The association is now in talks with the city for additional rent relief, Sifuentes said.

The city and Hernandez’ shared purpose, Nirenberg said, is to “reignite this downtown district’s original dynamism, and fulfill former mayor Maury Maverick’s 1939 vision of honoring La Villita’s artistic and articulate architectural heritage, a magnet for both residents and visitors.”Chef John Hernandez, center, is given a plaque from the San Antonio Hispanic Chamber of Commerce celebrating the opening of Maverick Coffee Bar at La Villita.The city has invested $5.
