Arrive by scooter from the parking lot
The event organizers want to make it easy to get there. To that end, they have arranged a partnership with Skootel, who will have several scooters available near TOROVERDE Urban Park so you can park in the Distrito T-Mobile lot.
More than just performances
In addition to the entertainment on the Popular Plaza stage, Distrito T-Mobile's restaurants are open throughout the weekend and ready to receive visitors.
Distrito T-Mobile's dining options include: Barullo Taberna Española, Lupe Reyes, Sazón Cocina Criolla, La Burguesía, La Central by Mario Pagán, Dulcinea Ice Cream & Churros, Pudge's Pizza, Arena Medalla and Denko Asian Eatery. If you're just looking for drinks, La Barrita del Lado is an option.
Keep in mind that reservations are recommended at some of the restaurants, as they see heavy traffic on weekends. For hours, menus and reservations, visit the Distrito T-Mobile official website.
"The Fiestas de la Calle San Sebastián are one of the most beloved cultural events for Puerto Ricans, and that is why we have created an extraordinary experience at Distrito T-Mobile. Located in the Miramar area, where many people park before heading to Old San Juan, it serves as a gathering place and a stop to enjoy this celebration," said general manager Francisco Mariani.
The executive added that SanSe Vibes will serve as an option for those who want to take in the cultural experience and for those who want to stop for a while before continuing on to Old San Juan.
