Viva Fiesta

In D.C. we had the cherry trees blossoming along the Tidal Basin to visually mark the arrival of spring. In San Antonio we've got Fiesta, a cherry in its own right. King William Fair, King's Ball, Queen's Ball, River Parade, Pooch Parade, Battle of the Flowers, Show Us Your Boots. And on and on it goes, for ten days this 120 y.o. tradition that galvanizes the city and raises hundreds of millions of dollars for charity, one puffy taco at a time.
