Thursday, April 18
H-E-B Plaza at the Alamodome
4 - 11 p.m.
This is when we get this party started. For the first time ever, the marquee Fiesta kickoff event is being held outside the Alamodome, where you can expect big crowds as the mayor, Fiesta royalty and entertainers officially kick off this year's party with a purpose! But trust us, there's still plenty of room for you to soak in the first moments of the party, find some medals and enjoy some great food and music.
If you really want to feel Fiesta fever, you should go. It's one of the best Fiesta events of the year!
BONUS: The KENS 5 team will be attending Fiesta Fiesta. Look for us to ask for your free KENS 5 Fiesta medal! Limit one per person while supplies last!
