Fiesta

Confetti, cumbias and homemade hats filled Travis Park as Fiesta Fiesta launched San Antonio’s annual celebration.

A cold front is expected to push through the Alamo City on Saturday.

We hope all those bicep curls this year have strengthened your chicken–on-a-stick arm and those squats should have helped your medal carrying capacity. It's Fiesta time!

Bexar County commissioners on Tuesday, in part, approved proclamation to prevent DWI crashes during San Antonio's biggest celebration of the year.

The proposed $5 fee is the first time there would be a financial cost to enter the normally free event which lasts for ten days during Fiesta. It’s one of only a few major Fiesta events that doesn’t charge for entry.

It was one of the highlights of the biggest party of the year.

Dozens of parties, ceremonies, concerts, parades all run through May 4.

The Ford Mariachi Festival on Wednesday and Thursday wowed those who came to see the performance.

Forecasters say there is at least a 50% chance of thunderstorms on Friday, but they’re predicted to fire up after 1 p.m., around the time the parade ends downtown.

The critics claim that Fiesta and its traditions, like the elaborate beaded gowns of the Fiesta queens who represent the Order of the Alamo, harken back to Mexican imperialism. They also say the Battle of Flowers celebrates the Battle of San Jacinto, which they see as a battle fought for slavery.
