Fiesta San Antonio is a vibrant tradition that celebrates the history and culture of San Antonio, Texas. This event features vibrant parades, food-centric events, and lively local entertainment.
Fiesta San Antonio (or simply “Fiesta”) is an annual festival held in April in San Antonio, Texas, and is the city’s signature event (along with some events held in the following surrounding cities: Boerne, Schertz, Windcrest, Balcones Heights, and Alamo Heights) since 1891. The festival, also known as the Battle of Flowers, commemorates of the Battle of the Alamo, which took place in San Antonio, and the Battle of San Jacinto, which led to Texas’ independence from Mexico in April 1836.
