Fiesta San Antonio

Held every April, Fiesta San Antonio is a multi-day, citywide celebration that turns San Antonio into a kaleidoscope of color, culture, and fun. What began in 1891 as a way to honor the heroes of the Alamo and Battle of San Jacinto has grown into one of the largest festivals in the country — complete with parades, food, music, art, and community events across the city.

With over 100 events, from the Battle of Flowers Parade to NIOSA (A Night in Old San Antonio), Fiesta is a true reflection of San Antonio’s diverse heritage and lively spirit.
