There is nothing quite like the spirit ofFiesta® that not only touches those who live in San Antonio but also those in nearby areas. This tradition dates to 1891 when a group of women from elite San Antonio society - The Daughters of the Republic of Texas (DRT) - adorned themselves and their horse-drawn carriages in flowers. It was a way to honor the memory of the heroes of the Alamo and the Battle of San Jacinto.Fiesta runs from Thursday, April 18, 2024, to Sunday, April 28, 2024. Visit fiestasanantonio.org for all the Fiesta events throughout San Antonio. San Antonio school districts will be closed for the famous Battle of Flowers® Parade, an event that attracts more than 550,000 spectators from around the nation. Many high school bands will be performing in the parade.For those unfamiliar, The Battle of Flowers commemorates the Battles of the Alamo and San Jacinto in April 1836, crucial in Texas’ independence from Mexico.Fiesta® is the city’s biggest festival with an economic impact of $340 million. It is often called the “Party with a Purpose” because each event benefits scholarships and charitable organizations.Some of the most popular events besides the Battle of Flowers include thePhoto Courtesy Of The Fiesta San Antonio Commission.Fiesta Flambeau parade, festivals like the Oyster Bake, the Fiesta Arts Fair, and Night in Old San Antonio.
