SAN ANTONIO – It’s a 130-year-old tradition that’s as San Antonio as it gets. And prior to last year, Fiesta had only been canceled during World Wars I and II.
That’s why, for many San Antonians, the postponement of Fiesta last March drove home the threat COVID-19 posed to our community.
Fiesta didn’t end up happening at all in 2020. But it is happening in 2021. And while things won’t look
exactly the way they did in 2019, a lot of the traditions that we look forward to year after year will be going strong.
