Alamo Heights Night, Official Fiesta San Antonio Event, Paused and Will Not Take Place In 2026
An established Fiesta block party will be absent from the 2026 schedule
Alamo Heights Night, a long-running, official Fiesta San Antonio event known for its family-oriented block-party format, will not be held during Fiesta 2026. The event’s organizers have listed the 2026 edition as “paused,” indicating it will not occur during the upcoming Fiesta dates of April 16–26, 2026.
The pause marks a notable change for a signature neighborhood-style Fiesta gathering that has historically offered live music, food and drink vendors, games, rides, and a broad slate of booths and activities. In recent years, the event has been presented by the Alamo Heights Rotary Club and promoted as an accessible, family- and kid-friendly evening within the citywide Fiesta calendar.
What the pause means for Fiesta planning
Fiesta San Antonio spans 11 days and includes a large number of official events hosted by nonprofits and community organizations across the region. With Alamo Heights Night not taking place in 2026, residents and visitors who typically include it in their Fiesta itinerary will need to adjust plans for that Friday-evening slot within the overall festival period.
Alamo Heights Night has been marketed as a concentrated, one-night community event. Its absence may be felt most directly by families and neighborhood groups that favor a localized, contained setting compared with larger multi-day Fiesta venues and downtown events.
Background and scale of the event
Within the official Fiesta event listings for 2025, Alamo Heights Night was described as the 37th annual edition and was associated with the University of the Incarnate Word campus along Broadway. The event description also highlighted a large on-site footprint, citing dozens of booths and continuous live entertainment on multiple stages.
Organizers have also tied the event to charitable and community-support goals, with past promotional materials noting cumulative fundraising totals across decades of operation for local causes, community service, and scholarships.
What remains on the 2026 calendar
Fiesta 2026 is scheduled for April 16–26. The official event calendar continues to list a broad range of Fiesta activities across San Antonio, including major parades, cultural events, and nonprofit-hosted fundraisers and celebrations.
- Fiesta San Antonio dates for 2026: April 16–26, 2026
- Alamo Heights Night: paused for 2026 and not scheduled to occur during Fiesta 2026
For longtime attendees, the pause removes a familiar single-night option within the broader Fiesta schedule and concentrates demand on other official events during the same 11-day period.
No replacement event under the Alamo Heights Night name has been listed for the 2026 Fiesta window.
