Hi John, It is going to be Fun. I don't particularly like those large crowds, but I may make an exception this year, so I can get some first hand photos of all the events. That Band Festival at the Alamo Stadium might a good idea, since I hearing some great music.

Yes, Kathy. Back in the Day, this event was not as Large as it is today. My favorites were the River Parade, the Battle of Flowers, and that Night Parade on Saturday. If you like Great Food, the NIOSA, is the place to be.

Hi Brenda, Yes, the 19th is very Special Day on my Calendar. Our Active Rain Camp, and meet up the same day. I can be that designated driver for sure, since I won't be having any Margaritas. Most of the Fiesta action that I like will start on Monday, April 23rd.

Hi Charita. I do remember that scene with Lucy and Ethel stomping on the grapes. She was the "Queen of Comedy" for sure Back in the Day! If you love great food, and loads of entertainment, it will be the place to be in April.

121 years is a long time for an event. That is too cool. I wouldn't mind going to this for the music and the food. Too bad I live too far away, and even though I need and deserve a vacation, I can't get away right now.

Hi Anita. Fiesta is the Best celebration all year long in San Antonio. Many come to the city for this Big Party.

Hi Cheryl, San Antonio does have some nice warm weather this time of the year. We only have to worry about the rain during the Fiesta week celebrations.

Yes, Debora, It is a Non-Stop Party for those 11 days alright. It's just as Big as Mardi Gras in New Orleans.

Hi Jane, All the kids here have already had their spring break, but Fiesta is the Biggest event this Spring.

Hi Kevin. With the hours that I have been putting in working lately, I may not have time for Fiesta this year.

Yes, Karen, It is very well planned with over 100 different events. It gets better every year I am told.

Hi Debbie, Perhaps, you will get to come to enjoy one of our Fiestas in the near future. It is a lot of Fun for food and entertainment.
