Schertz Gets Movin

The annual Movin on Main event returned to historic downtown Schertz encouraging the community to enjoy an afternoon outside while learning about wellness resources in the area.

Live demonstrations of Zumba, cardio classes, and yoga were presented from the Fitness Zone stage. At the other end of Main St., vendors ranging from local yoga and dance studios to herbal supplements and kids summer programs lined the thoroughfare, allowing eventgoers to cruise and sample the sites along the trafficfree zone. Live music, food, refreshments and activities—basketball connect four, soccer darts, sidewalk chalk art, pickleball and cornhole— provided fun for all ages. Local first responders displayed their vehicles so kids could interact with those who serve their community. Seniors enjoyed their own fitness zone where they could take part in chair volleyball, senior yoga, Silver Sneakers classes, Zumba gold and bingo. Schertz’ 4-legged residents weren’t left out either! The Doggie Zone had vendors Bluebonnet Bunk N’ Biscuit and the Guadalupe County 4H club providing treats, information, and an agility course. The weekend of warm spring weather brought nothing but sunshine to enjoy moving in the outdoor space. An estimated 2,500 area residents biked, skated, scooted, walked, and ran down Main Street over the course of the day. Hand wash and sanitizing stations were provided along the thoroughfare and face masks were encouraged, promoting the message of further health and safety in the community. The free event is hosted by City of Schertz and Schertz Parks and Recreation in partnership with Schertz Family YMCA and sponsored by A & A Plumbing. Movin on Main was brought together with the work of staff and more than 45 community and student volunteers.
