San Antonio's historic Alamo is a special place to visit any time during the year, however, the annual Remembering the Alamo event held each March is a particularly special time to visit the Alamo. Remembering the Alamo is a free event organized by the San Antonio Living History Association. The goal of the event is to honor everyone who was involved on both sides of the Alamo battle.
Remembering the Alamo is a re-enactment of the final two days of the Battle of the Alamo (March 5-6, 1836). The event takes place in Alamo Plaza in San Antonio on a weekend in March. It also includes a special ceremony called Dawn at the Alamo which occurs on the morning of March 6 every year. The weekend event includes band, marching drills, cannon demonstrations and more.
The legendary Battle of the Alamo was a 13 day battle in 1836 during which a few men tried to obtain independence from Mexico. While the battle of the Alamo was ultimately won by the Mexicans, it is said that the fight occupied the Mexican Army long enough for Sam Houston to organize and prepare to fight for Texas independence from Mexico.
The San Antonio Living History Association seeks to educate visitors about what the Battle of the Alamo was actually like for the men, women and children who lived in the area in 1836. The event is fun, exciting and educational for the entire family and make a visit to the Alamo come alive.
