San Jacinto Festival & Battle Reenactment

On Saturday, reenactors from across the state become figures in Texas history, for the day. Visitors can wander freely among the Mexican and Texian camps to learn what the soldiers and their families were doing prior to the battle in 1836. At 3 p.m., the official (and historically accurate!) reenactment of the Battle of San Jacinto begins.  With hundreds of history reenactors, this reenactment—complete with cannons, horses and pyrotechnics—is the largest in the southwest United States.

Sponsored by the San Jacinto Museum of History Association, the festival is a full day of entertainment, vendors, food, family activities, cultural exhibits, games and fun set amidst living history. All festival activities, including parking information, are updated regularly on the San Jacinto Museum of History website at www.sanjacinto-museum.orgwww.sanjacinto-museum.organd facebook.com/sjbattlereenactment.
