The Alamo Mission Chapter of the Daughters of the Republic of Texas will host the 106th Pilgrimage to the Alamo in honor of the Alamo Heroes and the heritage of Texas. The Pilgrimage began in 1918 as a tribute to the fallen soldiers of the Battle of the Alamo on San Jacinto Day. It consists of a processional of military, community groups, and individuals who walk from the Tobin Center Vietnam War Memorial and culminates with a wreath laying ceremony at the Alamo. Participation for this event is open to the public.

The processional will begin at 4 p.m. and continue to the Alamo. Customarily, period dress or the official dress of the organization represented is worn. Fiesta attire or period dress is recommended for individuals. Groups and individuals honor the heroes by laying a wreath or flowers on the green at the Alamo. A solemn ceremony will follow.
