The springtime revelry that covers the streets in stray confetti from a couple hundred thousand cascarones, brings to the city a sense of camaraderie. But what is Fiesta®, exactly? What is the origin of this "party with a purpose"? Why do people go loco for medals? Why do kids get a day off of school for a parade? Who is King Antonio, and just how many duchesses are there? Whether you're a Fiesta pro or new to the entire thing, we're gathered around the table for a candid conversation about the Fiesta we grew up in, met in college, and are still exploring and its history and events. (And also explaining just what are those Fiesta Medals everyone collects this time of year!) /* custom css - generated by TagDiv Composer */ /* custom css - generated by TagDiv Composer */ .tdi_6, .tdi_6 .tdc-columns{ min-height: 0; }.tdi_6, .tdi_6 .tdc-columns{ display: block; }.tdi_6 .tdc-columns{ width: 100%; }.tdi_6:before, .tdi_6:after{ display: table; } /* custom css - generated by TagDiv Composer */ /* custom css - generated by TagDiv Composer */ .tdi_8{ vertical-align: baseline; }.tdi_8 > .wpb_wrapper, .tdi_8 > .wpb_wrapper > .tdc-elements{ display: block; }.tdi_8 > .wpb_wrapper > .tdc-elements{ width: 100%; }.tdi_8 > .wpb_wrapper > .vc_row_inner{ width: auto; }.tdi_8 > .wpb_wrapper{ width: auto; height: auto; } /* custom css - generated by TagDiv Composer */ /* custom css - generated by TagDiv Composer */ .tdi_10{ vertical-align: baseline; }.tdi_10 > .wpb_wrapper, .tdi_10 > .wpb_wrapper > .tdc-elements{ display: block; }.tdi_10 > .wpb_wrapper > .tdc-elements{ width: 100%; }.tdi_10 > .wpb_wrapper > .vc_row_inner{ width: auto; }.tdi_10 > .wpb_wrapper{ width: auto; height: auto; } Show notes: The Colorful History of Fiesta Medals - San Antonio Express News 21 Things to Know about Fiesta Medals... - San Antonio Express News Fiesta San Antonio - Official Page /* custom css - generated by TagDiv Composer */ /* custom css - generated by TagDiv Composer */ .tdi_12, .tdi_12 .tdc-columns{ min-height: 0; }.tdi_12, .tdi_12 .tdc-columns{ display: block; }.tdi_12 .tdc-columns{ width: 100%; }.tdi_12:before, .tdi_12:after{ display: table; } /* custom css - generated by TagDiv Composer */ /* custom css - generated by TagDiv Composer */ .tdi_14{ vertical-align: baseline; }.tdi_14 > .wpb_wrapper, .tdi_14 > .wpb_wrapper > .tdc-elements{ display: block; }.tdi_14 > .wpb_wrapper > .tdc-elements{ width: 100%; }.tdi_14 > .wpb_wrapper > .vc_row_inner{ width: auto; }.tdi_14 > .wpb_wrapper{ width: auto; height: auto; } More about Fiesta .vc_custom_1419240516480{background-color: #f9f9f9 !important;}Fiesta® with the Family: A Guide to Kid-Friendly EventsFiesta® is officially upon us, April 24-May 4!
