San Antonio’s Fiesta is not just a festival; it’s a full-blown city-wide celebration where history, culture, and sheer joy collide in a dazzling spectacle of parades, parties, and plenty of food! Starting in 1891 as a flower-throwing event to honor the battles of the Alamo and San Jacinto, Fiesta has blossomed into a several-day extravaganza featuring over 100 events. Picture this: flower-covered floats gliding past cheering crowds, the River Walk alive with a boat parade, and the aroma of Tex-Mex mingling with the tunes of mariachi and jazz. Whether it’s tasting oysters at the Fiesta Oyster Bake or dancing at A Night in Old San Antonio (NIOSA), there’s something to ignite every sense.
The crown jewels of Fiesta are its iconic parades—the Battle of Flowers Parade, crafted entirely by women in yellow hats, and the glowing Fiesta Flambeau Parade, lighting up the night like a Texas-sized disco ball. Beyond the parades, families can enjoy cultural performances, military band concerts, and even a children’s costume contest. With its $340 million economic impact and a rich tapestry of events powered by 75,000 volunteers, Fiesta doesn’t just celebrate San Antonio—it is San Antonio. Come for the history, stay for the party, and leave with memories as bright as the lights on the Flambeau floats!
