1981 Official Fiesta Poster designed by artist Jesse Trevino


I like the motion of the colors and floral patterns of the dresses worn by folklorico dancers.
The dynamic movement of the colorful dress forms remind me of fiesta events and express the combination of spring and the celebration of hispanic heritage.

El Rey Feo


El Rey Feo came to my school when I was younger and was my first impression of fiesta. Alongside, of course, the tissue paper fiesta flowers we would make. For me he embodies fiesta.

Poteet Strawberry Festival


Poteet's Strawberry Festival, I think it is a good time just to enjoy the view and rides.

Fiesta Flambeau Parade


I would have to say Fiesta Flambeau Parade, because it was my first Fiesta event.

Being fairly new to San Antonio, I haven't been to any Fiesta events as of yet. However, perusing the various images out there, I know that I would love the Battle of Flowers parade. I love the bright colors, the fantastic creative expression found in the various floats, and the celebration of the cultural heritage of the city.

Oyster Bake


This is the only event my parents and I ever attended during Fiesta. I always loved the various food booths and the different genres of live music. I got to see Better Than Ezra there actually!

This poster does a good job of telling the observer about everything that goes on during this event. From the music notes and guitars to the oyster logo with cowboy boots... a very clear story is told.

Folkloricas


Fiesta in San Antonio, the most colorful time of the year. I love the beautiful dresses that are made for this occasion.
