SAN ANTONIO, TX — Prepare to journey through history at the Alamo’s Dawn at the Alamo, presented in partnership with the San Antonio Living History Association. This solemn and moving ceremony will commemorate the 190th anniversary of the Battle of the Alamo, which took place on March 6, 1836.
As the sun rises over Alamo Plaza tomorrow morning, witness a powerful tribute to the 189 known Alamo Defenders. The ceremony will feature live readings, stirring period music, a solemn wreath-laying, and a dramatic musket volley, echoing the bravery that once filled these hallowed grounds.
This year’s event will feature a special donation from David Crockett Birthplace State Park in Limestone, Tennessee: a piece of the steppingstone from the Crockett family cabin. This meaningful stone will connect Crockett’s place of birth with his place of death. The park, which was largely destroyed by Hurricane Helene in 2024, will also host a Mobile Homestead Exhibit on the Alamo’s Plaza de Valero throughout the day where visitors can learn more about Crockett’s life as well as the park’s recovery efforts.
This event is free and open to all. Don’t miss this opportunity to be part of a living history experience: a tribute to the past that continues to inspire the present and future.
