Battle of the Alamo

Each year, we honor the 13-day siege leading up to the Alamo with corresponding days of special events and programming free to the public as well as special paid experiences. The annual Commemoration honoring the anniversary of the Battle of the Alamo in 1836 will take place from Sunday, February 23, 2025 through Thursday, March 6, 2025.
