Cannon Firing Experience

Looking to make a bang at your next event? Treat your guests to a once-in-a-lifetime experience with a live cannon firing provided by the Alamo.

This event package will include Alamo staff, a brief presentation on the history of the cannon, safety training, hearing protection for all guests, and the opportunity for you and your guests to fire 14-live shots from the Alamo’s 18-Pounder cannon – a replica of the cannon Lt. Col. William Barret Travis fired on February 23, 1836, communicating to Santa Anna that the Alamo would “never surrender or retreat.” Event location will need to be evaluated by the Alamo team to ensure there is enough space to safely fire a cannon.

This opportunity is available in gratitude and appreciation for a significant gift to the Remember the Alamo Foundation. Please complete the form below if you are interested.

Located in the heart of San Antonio, the Alamo stands as the Shrine of Texas Liberty. More than 1.6 million visitors travel to the site each year, making it the #1 most visited destination in the State of Texas. The 300-year history of the Alamo is world-renowned and represents the core of Texas’ identity today. The ongoing effort to restore dignity and reverence to this sacred historic site through the comprehensive Alamo Plan is underway. 

When you donate to the Alamo, you support preservation efforts to help ensure that the Alamo Church, Long Barrack, and artifact collection are well taken care of for future generations to enjoy. Make your gift today so that future generations will Remember the Alamo. 

Your gift is received through the Remember the Alamo Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, that provides support exclusively for the Alamo and its preservation, educational outreach, and public programs. The Foundation’s tax number is 47-4470136.
