| What is Fiesta San Antonio |
From Humble Beginnings to Epic Extravaganza
Fiesta started in 1891 as a simple parade to honor Texan heroes. Think tiny hats and maybe a borrowed horse. But this little acorn grew into a mighty oak (or should we say a prickly pear cactus?) Over the years, it's morphed into a two-week extravaganza filled with more parades, parties, and cultural celebrations than you can shake a maraca at.
Tip: Don’t just scroll to the end — the middle counts too.
Fiesta Fun: More Than Just Beads and Booze (Although There's Plenty of That Too)
Sure, Fiesta has its fair share of colorful floats flinging beads and folks two-stepping in the streets. But there's a whole lot more to this fiesta than meets the eye (especially after a few margaritas). Here's a taste:
Tip: Pause if your attention drifts.
- The Battle of Flowers Parade: The granddaddy of them all, this floral throwdown is a spectacle of roses, lilies, and enough cascarones (colorful confetti eggs) to blanket the River Walk.
- Texan pride on parade: From honoring military veterans to celebrating ethnic heritages, Fiesta is a melting pot of cultures all basking in the Texan sunshine.
- Fiesta Eats: Get ready to tantalize your taste buds! From mouthwatering barbacoa to melt-in-your-mouth migas breakfast tacos, Fiesta is a culinary adventure for the adventurous eater.
- Nights in Old San Antonio: Take a trip back in time with this historic reenactment. Stroll through candlelit streets lined with costumed characters depicting San Antonio's vibrant past.
Pro tip: Pace yourself, partner. Fiesta is a marathon, not a sprint. There's no shame in taking a siesta or two in between all the excitement.
