Mayor Gina Ortiz Jones and councilmembers opened the meeting with proclamations recognizing the 2026 Fiesta season and individual Fiesta events.
The mayor read a proclamation designating April 2026 the official 2026 Fiesta season and highlighted Fiesta San Antonio's cultural and economic contributions. Representatives from the Texas Cavaliers, Ray Feo court, the Conservation Society (NIOSA), the Battle of Flowers Association, and the Fiesta Flambeau Parade previewed their events, charity work and community programming. Speakers emphasized fundraising for scholarships and local charities, volunteer-driven operations, and safety planning.
Notable points: the Texas Cavaliers described millions in charitable giving and planned investments in a children's park; the Consejo said it plans donor-funded scholarships and community partnerships; NIOSA and Battle of Flowers organizers reviewed volunteer engagements and expected attendance figures.
Why it matters: Fiesta is a major annual cultural and economic driver in San Antonio; the proclamations formalize civic recognition and provide officials a venue to preview public-safety planning and volunteer needs.
Next steps: Organizers and city departments will continue coordination on festival logistics, safety, and transportation for the upcoming Fiesta season.
