San Antonio Magazine – City’s Movers and Shakers Give Best Fiesta Tips
It’s the most wonderful time of the year.
No, not the Christmas holiday season, which is indeed wonderful. But this is San Antonio, and if you don’t know that the most wonderful time of the year is Fiesta season, stick around. Someone will fill you in.
Better yet, experience it for yourself. This year’s mega celebration runs from Thursday, April 18, through Sunday, April 28; on those days, you can find a Fiesta event happening from sunup to sundown.
What started as a single parade in 1891 to honor the heroes of the Alamo and the Battle of San Jacinto has evolved into a whirlwind of more than 100 official Fiesta events, as well as countless unofficial events throughout the city, eagerly awaited by San Antonians in a “Don’t talk to me in April unless it’s about Fiesta” kind of way.
