Evening with Heroes

Living historians re-enact the night before the siege

What would it have been like to be present at the Alamo during the siege leading up to the battle?

Watch history unfold as you are led through Plaza de Valero by candlelight at this special, after-hours, live theatrical event. Step back in time to witness the actions and conversations of the Alamo defenders and residents like James Bowie, David Crockett, and Susannah Dickinson in the hours before the final, fateful attack. A guide will lead your group through candlelit scenarios as you witness history unfold.

Our annual Evening With Heroes also provides access to the Alamo after it is closed to the public, allowing you to experience the grounds like you never have before.

Tours will depart at 6 p.m., 7:15 p.m, and 8:30 p.m. Each tour will last approximately 45 minutes.

Tickets are not yet available for purchase, but watch this page for updates!
