                    FIESTA!
Fiesta! began in 1891 to honor the heroes of the Battles of the  Alamo and San Jacinto. Fiesta takes place every April with 10-days full of parades, festivals, exhibits, live music, dancing, not to mention the delicious food and beverages--there is something for everyone.  Local nonprofit organizations make up Fiesta's heart and soul.  The funds they raise go back into the community for charitable causes. More than 3 million people--20% coming from out of town-- take part in Fiesta, one of this nation's most distinctive festivals.

                     Ahh, San Antonio....like Dorothy said..."There's no place like home".
Founded in 1691 by Spanish missionaries, San Antonio has grown to be the eighth largest city in the  U.S.,     but still maintains that small town warmth and charm like no other city in the world . We have  more than   300 days of sunshine in an average year, so visitors have plenty of opportunities to explore all it's history,      art, music, culture, dining, golf, attractions and events the city has to offer.  It's not uncommon to be met    by smiles and nods from passersby; to find someone more that willing to give you directions to the Alamo,   or to chat the evening away with your new friends at the table next to you during dinner.
So, Welcome to San Antonio-- a city with roots that run deep, arms that welcome you and smiles that make   you feel right at home. There is absolutely so much to see and do in this great city of mine...below is just a    tiny bit of  what there is to offer. So sit back and take the tour.
