San Antonio Dog Days of Summer - Presented by Milk-Bone® Bring your four-legged friends to the Botanical Garden! Visitors can sign up for the free raffle with a chance to win a basketful of dog goodies. The basket has been donated by the Humane Society/SPCA of Bexar County. Large plastic pools of water will be located throughout the Garden for the animals to drink and “mutt mitts” will be provided for responsible dog-owners to help pick up after their pets. Why do we call it the “Dog Days of Summer”? In the summer, the brightest of the stars in the Canis Major constellation (meaning “the big dog”) is named Sirius, so Sirius is referred to as the dog star. It is so bright that the ancient Romans thought that the earth actually received heat from it. In the summer, Sirius rises and sets with the sun and the ancients believed that its heat actually added to the heat of the sun, creating a stretch of hot and sultry weather. They named this period of time “dog days,” from 20 days before the conjunction to 20 days after. On present day calendars, dog days occur July 3 through August 11 – definitely a time of hot weather here in San Antonio. The Carriage House Bistro is open for brunch Saturday-Sunday 9 a.m. – 2 p.m. and for lunch Tuesday-Friday 11 a.m. – 2 p.m. The Bistro is located inside the historic Carriage House at the Garden. Although no pets are allowed inside the restaurant, there is outdoor seating for pet lovers to enjoy a meal. Regular admission to the San Antonio Botanical Garden is: $7 adults, $5 military, seniors and students, $4 children 3-13. (No admission charge for Botanical Society members.) A donation of $5.00 per dog will be collected and given as a contribution to the San Antonio Animal Care Services, Animal Defense League, Humane Society/SPCA of Bexar County, and the San Antonio Botanical Society. The San Antonio Botanical Garden is open year-round except Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s Day. The Garden is located at 555 Funston at N. New Braunfels Avenue, with free parking and is operated under the auspices of the City of San Antonio Department of Parks & Recreation.

The San Antonio Botanical Garden continues its popular annual series of Concerts Under the Stars every third Thursday of the month this summer. Austin-based blues guitarist Seth Walker will launch the 2008 series on Thursday, June 19. Seth Walker produces an eclectic blend of hip blues with rootsy, soul-filled vocals. This outstanding guitarist has shared the stage with blues legends such as Ray Charles, B.B. King and Jimmie Vaughan. Growing up with a musical, artistic family in rural North Carolina gave Walker his natural ability to entertain audiences. Gates open at 6 p.m., with the performance beginning at 7 p.m. and ending about Concert-goers may bring lawn chairs and blankets but no outside food and drink. Picnic foods and beverages—including wine, beer, water and soft drinks—will be available for purchase. Other concerts in the series: July 17 - Wilbert Beasley/Body and Soul. The band will get guests dancing as they play energetic soul and classic R&B. August 21 - Buttercup is a San Antonio favorite! The sound of the band has been described as South Texas beach boys mixed with pop rock. The band’s whimsical performers – including Joe Reyes, formerly of Lara & Reyes - keep the audience engaged throughout the performance. The Botanical Garden is located at 555 Funston at North New Braunfels Avenue with onsite free parking and is operated under the auspices of the City of San Antonio Department of Parks & Recreation.
