The 15th annual Luminaria Contemporary Arts Festival will hit St. Paul Square this Saturday with hundreds of visual artists and performers augmenting the revelry.

This year, the one-night festival’s footprint extends north to include the San Antonio Street Art Initiative’s Gravelmouth Gallery and D.R.E.A.M Mural District.

Expect a wide array of film, dance, performance and installation art along with live music, poetry and more by visual artists from San Antonio to Berlin and Stockholm to the Navajo Nation.

Highlights include eye-catching work from both established and up-and-coming artists in addition to a headline-slot tribute to the late and inimitable accordion legend Flaco Jiménez featuring San Antonio actor Jesse Borrego.

Free, 6 p.m.-midnight Saturday, Oct. 18, Luminaria Contemporary Arts Festival, St. Paul Square, (210) 721-1670, luminariasa.org.
