Holidays/celebrations: |
In San Antonio we celebrate Battle of flowers. The battle of Flowers is held each year on April 21 it is a 10 day celebration. We celebrate it in memory of the fallen heroes at the Alamo and to remember the battle of San Jacinto, were Texas won its independents from Mexico. By 1895 the parade developed into a weeklong celebration called fiesta San Antonio. In 1901 the parade features spectacular flower-covered floats with participants costumes. The event attracts crowds of more than 350,000 people.
