A Public Market Complex for San Antonio’s Eastside
It’s a shared space, both indoor and outdoor, where local businesses sell food, art, and goods all in one place. It’s not just shopping though. It’s a place to gather, a place to connect, and a place to celebrate community.
Shaped by extensive community engagement and a comprehensive feasibility study, the market is envisioned as an economic and cultural anchor designed to serve both current and future generations
Supporting local
businesses and jobs.
Celebrating the unique
identity of the Eastside.
A space for current
and future generations.
The Eastside Public Market is rooted in the voices of the community. Through extensive outreach and engagement, seven guiding principles emerged to help shape the future of the market and ensure it reflects the values, history, and aspirations of San Antonio’s Eastside.
