Fiesta Since 1891, San Antonio, Texas, has celebrated an annual festival known as San Antonio (or simply “Fiesta”) in April. Other celebrations are also conducted in nearby Boerne, Schertz, Windcrest, Balcones Heights, and Alamo Heights. The Battle of Flowers, also known as the Battle of the Alamo, and the Battle of San Jacinto, which resulted in Texas’ independence from Mexico in April 1836, are remembered throughout the event.

The largest celebration in the city, Fiesta, has a $340 million economic impact on the area. In more than 100 activities that take place around the city and abroad, more than three million people participate.

We’ve got these spectacularly entertaining Halloween events lined up for you on your spine-tingling schedule:

Hocus Pocus at Cinema on Will’s Plaza

On October 14, watch Hocus Pocus at the Will Naylor Smith River Walk Plaza to put a spell on your October plans. This Halloween cult favourite tells the tale of a gang of kids who, with the aid of a cat pal, must figure out how to defeat revived witches from the 17th century on Halloween night. On a 32-foot LED wall screen, enjoy the movie.

You only need to bring yourself, your family, and possibly a lawn chair or a creepy blanket since this event is free.

At 8:00 p.m., the movie begins, and the plaza opens. Pets, outside food, and beverages are not permitted on the plaza.

8th annual Hocus Pocus Halloween Extravaganza

Let’s say you’re a Sanderson Sisters fanatic. In that case, you should go to the 8th Annual Hocus Pocus Halloween Extravaganza on October 22 at the San Antonio Museum of Art.

Beer, wine, and specialty cocktails will be available at this 21+ event’s open bar along with small nibbles. Additionally, there will be a picture booth, costume contests, DJ Stephennie Ramerez, and the e7 Band performing.

Go to an Event at Victoria’s Black Swan Inn

Victoria’s Black Swan Inn, which has been a pillar of San Antonio’s history since the middle of the 1800s, is stunning, opulent, and unsettling. It has been existed for a very long time, so there is a lot of history to support the terrifying stories that are connected to it.

Do you believe you have what it takes to look into the ghosts of Sara “Suzie” Mahler Schlegel, Gustav Juilan, and many others? Live out your “Ghost Adventures” fantasies by scheduling your paranormal investigations!

Every autumn, Spooky Activities are available at Victoria’s Black Swan Inn!
