At 7:30 pm the San Antonio Rose Live show begins, featuring the best of
traditional country, western swing, and gospel music. "Itʼs a Texas-sized tribute to
classic country music; world-class entertainers and a world-class production."
Tickets for the event are $40 per person. The ticket price includes the VIP
reception with wine, cheese, hors dʼoeuvres, and other refreshments, as well as
admission to the Rotary silent auction and the San Antonio Rose Live Show.
