Travel back to the 1700s when the Spanish first established missions in the area that grew to become modern-day San Antonio.
During this free, family-friendly event, visitors will hear from descendants of the Indigenous people who lived and worked at the missions, as well as descendants of the Canary Island settlers who were the earliest civilian settlers of the area. Living historians will also host demonstrations showing what life was like for mission residents, including what they ate and the trades they learned.
Mission San Antonio de Valero, known today as the Alamo, was the first of five missions to be established along the San Antonio River. More than 300 years later, the Alamo Church and Long Barrack are the two surviving structures from that era.
This special program is held in partnership with the World Heritage Festival. This year's festival celebrates the 10th anniversary of San Antonio's five Spanish missions, including the Alamo, receiving the designation of a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
