Within the same vicinity, you can find that Old Town is also home to many small businesses and even serves as the primary location for Helotes Market Days on the first Saturday of every month. Vendors from all artisan and culinary backgrounds will fill the streets of Old Bandera Rd. and Riggs Roads for families to come together to shop, eat and enjoy live music at this outdoor, monthly event.

Aside from the once-a-month market day event, you can explore more of what Helotes has to offer by dining at the original El Chapparal Mexican Restaurant, which has the most colorful atmosphere and satiating Mexican cuisine. And for those casual wine-nights, grab your friends and drive not even a mile to the Helotes Creek Winery for a relaxed night with fine wine.

Or for a livelier outing, visit Cooter Browns Saloon and enjoy a fun night out dancing to country music, while sipping on your favorite drinks from the bar. If you’re wanting to watch the latest movie releases, Santikos Silverado movie theater is just around the corner. Living at Cielo Rio Ranch, it’s nice to have so many fun and diverse options so close to home.
