In 2013, DreamWeek San Antonio began as a spark, a vision to create a platform where the spirit of the MLK March could extend into a multi-day celebration of ideas, culture, and community. As we stand on the threshold of our 15th Anniversary in 2027, that spark has become a permanent beacon for our city.

We are thrilled to share that the theme for DreamWeek San Antonio 2027 is “Connections.” Save the dates: January 15–31.

This theme is a tribute to you. It represents the 15 years of engagements that turned into partnerships, the panel discussions that turned into understanding, and the strangers who became neighbors through the power of shared experience. Our “community genius” is not a solo endeavor; it is the result of a network built one connection at a time.

As we prepare for this milestone year, we invite you to reflect on the connections you’ve made through DreamWeek San Antonio. How have these bonds changed your perspective? How have they deepened your community impact?

In 2027, we aren’t just celebrating a date on the calendar. We are celebrating the invisible architecture of unity that we have built together over the last 15 years. We look forward to seeing how these connections will continue to propel us forward.

With gratitude,
The DreamWeek San Antonio / DreamGlobal Team

Our Story

Every January, San Antonio engages in a city-wide summit promoting an exchange of ideas on universal issues facing our multi-cultural communities. The mission is to advance and modernize the teachings set forth by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s vision; to lay the foundation of tolerance, by creating dialog across cultures and communities. DreamWeek inspires and motivate participants to exchange ideas and insights on a range of subjects to advance the voices of tolerance, diversity, and equality. Each of the days of DreamWeek is dedicated to one of the following themes: City, Sports, Cuisine, Health, Energy, Technology, Education, Arts, Youth, Spirit, Justice and Business. The days of global exchange and celebration will include a series of keynote speaking engagements, mixers, events and celebrations that will foster discussions centered on universal issues.
