DreamWeek is a 17-day summit of events to foster the exchange of ideas on universal issues in an environment curated for successful civil and civic engagements.  The January, city-wide summit takes place in and around downtown San Antonio. The aim is to invite all to participate in an open forum where real-world issues are presented and nurtured, with the understanding that the truest voices will always prevail.

The next DreamWeek is from Friday January 10 to Sunday January 26, 2025.

DreamWeek events occur at multiple locations in and around downtown San Antonio.

The “Events” on our DreamWeek website, will take you to the list of events which provide you with important event details such as: date, time, location, cost etc.

You are now able to create a DreamList with all of the events that you plan to attend.

Also, our Schedule of Events brochure, will contain all DreamWeek events and details.

The majority of DreamWeek events are free and open to the public, however some event hosting partners require an entry fee for fundraising and other purposes. The DreamTeam will specify which events contain a charge on our website, and schedule of events brochure.
