Exchanging ideas. Inspiring discussion. Igniting change. That's the goal of the 14th Annual DreamWeek San Antonio summit.

DreamWeek San Antonio is one of the city’s signature winter celebrations and a powerful part of the Alamo City's Black heritage.

Each year, DreamWeek Summit brings people together for open, thoughtful conversations about issues that shape our world, with a focus on listening, learning, and moving forward together.

Events range from inspiring panels, symposiums, and film screenings to concerts and art exhibits, creating space for many voices and perspectives. It’s a time to celebrate culture, spotlight community leaders and creators, and join San Antonio in honoring the stories that help define who we are.
