SUMMARY:The Pilgrimage to the Alamo
DESCRIPTION:The Pilgrimage to the Alamo began in 1918 as a replacement for the Battle of Flowers Parade, which was not held that year due to the United States’ involvement in World War I. In place of the military, Boy Scouts led the solemn procession to the Alamo.\nToday, the Pilgrimage remains a solemn and silent six-block procession from the Vietnam War Memorial to the Alamo. Participants walk with their respective organizations, carrying floral tributes that are placed on the Alamo grounds before gathering in Alamo Plaza for the commemorative program. \nThe ceremony honors those who gave their lives defending the The Alamo on March 6, 1836 – a sacrifice that ultimately contributed to Texas’ victory at San Jacinto and its independence as a Republic.\nApproximately 100 organizations participate, including representatives from the six branches of the U.S. Military, local and county officials, historical and lineage societies, Fiesta® royalty, and numerous civic and cultural groups from across the San Antonio community.\nThe keynote speaker represents the Command of Joint Base San Antonio, alternating each year between the Army and the Air Force. Remarks are also shared by Fiesta® Commission leadership, the Alamo Mission Chapter DRT, and other distinguished guests. The procession is traditionally led by a riderless horse from Fort Sam Houston.\n 🎟️ Admission: FREE!\n
