¡El Fiesta de las Luminarias!

As we all know, San Antonio is a city riddled with rich tradition. This holiday season, San Antonians can participate in a century old tradition known as "El Fiesta de las Luminarias" (The Festival of Lights). This is one of the oldest traditions in our city, and always bears thousands of participants!

So, what's so special about this tradition? Basically, the entire River Walk is outlined with over 6,000 warmly glowing candles, lighting up the lush banks of San Antonio's trademark tourist attraction. This is immensely important to those of Mexican descent, as the lighting of the River Walk symbolizes the "lighting of the way" for the Holy Family.
