Love the composition of this poster. The happy cascarone sun smiling over San Antonio makes me want to go to Fiesta! There is a lot of movement here which is what should be shown on a Fiesta poster.

Fiesta


I have personally never been to Fiesta, but from what I have heard about it, it is filled with bright colors and beautiful costumes celebrating Hispanic culture. I found this image to be pretty intense both in color and elaborate decoration. It is really beautiful thing to see and must take a lot of time to create.

River walk night parade

When I think of fiesta I automatically picture the river walk and all the lights reflecting off of the water. Most of the festivities and Fiesta related events are within the general area of the river. For example, the Floats in the night parade and battle of flowers celebrations are the most memorable for me. The colors, music and food make Fiesta what it is.

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.
