They’re so big that the Friday parade for the Battle of Flowers is an official city holiday even for school districts. There’s no better way to show off your San Antonio pride than sitting in a foldable chair that you chained to a light pole last week to claim your spot and then yelling at a Fiesta royal on a parade float to show you their shoes (it’s a thing.) 4:00PM - 10:00 PM - Hemisfair - Fireworks: 9:50 PMĭon’t bring a cloud to rain on my (half dozen) parades This is also the place to beef up your Fiesta medal collection at Pin Pandemonium. It’s where the hair is let down, cascarones are cracked, and an ugly tie or two gets cut in half. “Fiesta Fiesta” is the event that starts it all. While it’s not a complete list, here’s a few of this year’s events we’ve divided them up a little bit:

But the entire series is organized by the Fiesta Commission.
“This city is about to erupt like a family reunion that we haven’t had in a very long time and that’s the part that I’m most looking forward to is seeing everybody’s smiles and coming back together again,” San Antonio Mayor Ron Nirenberg said during a council meeting earlier this month “It is something that I think we all deserve, especially those who have been working so hard on the front lines of virtually every sector of this community to get it to where we can celebrate again.”įiesta events are run by individual non-profits that use the money earned from those events to fund necessary programs. The next year, in 2021, had a modified Fiesta in the summer instead of April.

Nearly all of the traditional events will be back in full swing after 2020’s Fiesta events were first postponed and then canceled. But I get it, Fiesta can be overwhelming, it’s impossible to do it all because there are literally 110 events.įiesta begins Thursday, March 31 with its kickoff event “Fiesta Fiesta” in Hemisfair.
Which events are the right ones for you? If you said “all of them,” let’s party. It’s the first time the 11-day celebration will be held in its entirety since 2019 due to the pandemic. San Antonio’s celebration of culture, music, charities and chicken-on-a-stick is making its long-awaited comeback.
