As part of the citywide Kidcation, which turns the city into a children’s playground for a last big outing before the school year, the UTSA Institute of Texan Cultures will sponsor its annual “Vaquerocation,” with activities centered on the legacy of the Texas Cowboy.

Kids and families will have an opportunity to interact with cowboy docents, practice their skills at roping, learn about life on the cattle drives, make their own spurs, grab a seat for cowboy story time, and work on cowboy-themed hands-on crafts.
