THE FIESTA IMPACT

The 2026 Fiesta San Antonio theme, "Fiesta Together," celebrates community, unity, and the diverse cultures of the Alamo City, held from April 16–26, 2026. Selected by Fiesta Commission President Ferne Burney, this theme emphasizes "partying with a purpose" to support over 100 local nonprofit organizations.
You can celebrate disability inclusion with the 2026 Fiesta Especial® medal!
