A Brief History of Fiesta Medals

From its beginnings 127 years ago, the eleven-day San Antonio Fiesta held in April now has 3.5 million people attending each year. Lovers of the Fiesta come from all over Texas, parts of the US — and the world — to revel in the experience.

The famous Battle of the Flowers Parade is now the second-largest float parade in the United States.

1891 was when the first San Antonio Fiesta took place. It started as a way to honor the memory of the fallen soldiers in the battles of the Alamo and San Jacinto, both in 1836. At first, the Fiesta consisted just of the Battle of Flowers parade. In the early days, people, bicycles, and carriages would pass in front of the Alamo, and people would throw flower blossoms at one another. It was a group of women who came up with the idea of the parade of flowers. The tradition of women organizing all the floats for the Battle of Flowers parade continues to this day.

The Fiesta is a San Antonio municipal holiday. It focuses on and celebrates the independence of Texas and the flourishing Hispanic and indigenous cultures of the area. Today has grown in popularity and size, with more than 100 events spread over 11 days making it a festival of note – and worthy of a medal or two.

Where Did Fiesta Medals Come From?

The Fiesta medal tradition began in 1946 when the King Antonio of the Texas Cavaliers gave out coins to the local children during the Fiesta parade. These coins soon became prized possessions. Holes were drilled through the coins, and people began wearing them around their necks.

Soon after that, the Fiesta Medal was born and slowly developed into a favorite Fiesta tradition.

These days, businesses and organizations all over San Antonio create annual versions of these medals. Fiesta-goers love decorating their sashes, vests, jackets, hats, and sombreros) with these medals. Some San Antonio fiesta medals are even considered collector's items! People who've been coming to the San Antonio Fiesta for years usually wear all the medals they've collected from previous fiestas.

Fiesta medals are exchanged, bought and sold, and even given away in the spirit of fiesta exuberance.
