Dawn at the Alamo
Alamo Plaza
A pre-dawn ceremony honors the fallen on both sides of the 1836 Battle of the Alamo, which was fought in darkness. It has a very solemn tone, as thirteen candles are lit to remember the 13-day siege. The reconciliation peace prayer, recited in both English and Spanish, honors 189 Texian defenders and about 600 Mexican troops either killed or wounded in the battle. Eyewitness accounts of the battle are read as a flintlock musket volley echoes the sounds of gunfire against the walls. You'll get a good sense of what the soldiers went through as the end came to the defenders. The event is hosted by the San Antonio Living History Association and is free for all to attend.

April 9, 10:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.

Pilgrimage to the Alamo
Municipal Auditorium
Each year during Fiesta, as the festivities get underway, there is a quiet homage to the fallen heroes of the Battle of the Alamo. Historic, civic, patriotic, military, school and Fiesta organizations gather at Municipal Auditorium and walk in absolute silence to the Alamo, about a ten-minute walk. When they arrive at the Alamo, a disembodied voice behind the walls intones the names and places of origin of each Alamo defender. The ceremony ends with a lone bugler sounding "Taps." The event is hosted by the Alamo Mission Chapter of the Daughters of the Republic of Texas and is free for all to attend.

April 15, 12:30 p.m. (during Fiesta)
Battle of Flowers Parade
Downtown San Antonio Parade Route
Fifty-five years after the famous Battle of the Alamo in 1836, the visiting wife of a U.S. Congressman suggested the city hold a flower parade -- like those in Spain, France and Mexico City -- to pay tribute to the defenders of the Alamo. That modest procession blossomed, over the decades, into Fiesta, now an 11-day citywide street party. Families gather along the parade route to cheer on the flower-laden floats and pay homage to the Fiesta royalty. This event is hosted by the Battle of Flowers Association and is free for bystanders along the two-mile parade route. Prime seats require tickets.

May 14, 10:00 am . to 2:30 p.m.
