What began as an Easter celebration at a time when san antonio was still a small desert enclave has become a week long celebration in America's fastest growing city. Fiesta rings in spring Texas style. There are parades, concerts, dancing in the streets, and of course, plenty of food.

Downtown San Antonio hosts nearly one hundred events beginning on April 18th. It is estimated that three million people will attend at least one event this year. The city's schools and municipal offices close on April 25th for a parade known as Battle of the Flowers.

With such a high concentration of good times, April might be the perfect time to visit San Antonio. Sure, you'll have to fight the crowds, but the festive atmosphere will surely offset any stress.
