San Antonio's beloved La Semana Alegre music festival, previously held from the early 1970s until 1995, is making a comeback this year as a two-day event at Hemisfair. The festival, known for its vibrant celebration and cultural significance, is part of the larger Fiesta celebrations which include a variety of events such as Fiesta Fiesta, the kickoff event featuring festive outfits and unique medals, and Fiesta de los Reyes at Historic Market Square. However, the festival's return has sparked some controversy due to road closures in South Alamo. A local expressed, 'It's supposed to be fun... It's a good thing for San Antonio.'
