The Alamo, in partnership with defender descendants, invites you to join us for a special event this Saturday, April 12, as we honor the birthday of Tejano hero Toribio Losoya.
Born on land within the Alamo barrio, Toribio Losoya was destined to fight for a free Texas. He made his last stand at the Battle of the Alamo in 1836, where he fought valiantly alongside other Defenders of the Shrine of Texas Liberty.
On the 4th annual Toribio Losoya Day, we will celebrate his bravery and honor his contribution to the Texas Revolution. This free event features a powerful tribute ceremony at 11 a.m. on Plaza de Valero, the Alamo's newest public space in front of the Menger Hotel. Visitors will hear from Toribio Losoya's descendants, who will then lead a procession to the Alamo Church where wreaths and roses will be laid in the Alamo Defender's memory.
Throughout the day, the Alamo's team of living historians will host demonstrations showcasing slices of life from the time Losoya lived at the Alamo, from textiles and weaving to weapons and medicine.
Come to the Alamo and discover Toribio Losoya's story, impact on Texas history, and sacrifice for freedom.
