The large crowds were a welcomed sight for area business owners, as COVID-19 cases remain low and spring break and holiday celebrations are in full swing.

“I don’t want to say doubled but I’m hoping to completely blow the last couple of years out of the water,” said Mary Sams, a manager at Maddy McMurphy’s Irish Sports Bar.

Sams said in 2020, many businesses in the area shut down right on or near St. Patrick’s Day due to the pandemic. However in 2021, business was back but lacked luster. President of the City Sightseeing San Antonio Tours David Strainge shared a similar story, in agreement that business is back and better than before.

“It is buzzy again. Last March it was fine, it was okay. It was kind of normal but this last 10 days, 12 days, buzzy is the word. The atmosphere is great,” Strainge said.San Antonio’s tourist hotspot, the River Walk, had a good mixture of locals and visitors. One man said he wasn’t letting gas prices stop him from taking a road trip from Oklahoma City to San Antonio.Locals were out taking in the scenery and the atmosphere, all while enjoying food and drinks.

“It’s a beautiful day. It’s a beautiful weekend, so we love it. You know it’s the first time we’ve been out in probably two, two and a half years in this kind of setting,” said Jon and Christina Law.John Paul Barajas is a reporter at KSAT 12. Previously, he worked at KRGV 5 in the Rio Grande Valley. He has a degree from the University of Houston. In his free time, he likes to get a workout in, spend time on the water and check out good eats and drinks.
