Title, date, and keywords based on information provided by the photographer.
First held in 1891 to honor the heroes of the Alamo and the Battle of San Jacinto, the parade, in which local women decorated carriages, baby buggies and bicycles with live flowers, met in front of the Alamo, and threw the blossoms at one another, is the event that spawned Fiesta as it is known today. Soon other activities joined the flower parade: balls, parties and a carnival. The celebration's name changed over the years from Carnival to Spring Carnival to Fiesta San Jacinto and, in 1960, to Fiesta San Antonio.
