Yes, It's only two days remaining for the start of the biggest party in South Texas. Fiesta San Antonio officially starts April 10, 2014, and ends April 27, 2014. There are over 100 different events planned by different non-profit organizations. It's Spring Time, and it's Time to Party!
Springtime in San Antonio means it's time for parades, parties, entertainment, and so much more when you check the schedule for over 100 events. The Texas Cavaliers Night River Parade has become very popular and is certainly one of the largest parades on the river in the country. Of course, the Battle of Flowers Parade, the granddaddy of them all, is on Friday afternoons, and is one my favorites. You will certainly not want to miss the final parade on Saturday night, the Fiesta Flambeau.
Fiesta San Antonio was previously called Fiesta San Jacinto. It evolved from the 1891 flower parade conceived by Ellen Maury Slayden, wife of Congressman James L. Slayden, as an April 21 salute to the heroes of the battles of the Alamo and San Jacinto. With the arrival of fair weather, participants in carriages pelted one another with flowers as they rounded Alamo Plaza. A group of San Antonio women then formed the Battle of Flowers Association. By 1895 an elaborate week-long celebration surrounded the Battle of Flowers Parade and the event, which we enjoy today, was born.
