The Alamo hosts Revolution Arrives: Siege of Bexar in San Antonio on 7 November 2026, bringing a public living-history programme to the site associated with the opening phase of the Texas Revolution. The event will run at Alamo Plaza from 10am to 2pm and is presented by Alamo Trust, the organisation responsible for the site.
Revolution Arrives brings the 1835 siege to Alamo Plaza
The programme recalls the first major conflict of the Texas Revolution, when Texian volunteers laid siege to San Antonio de Bexar in 1835. It is designed around three separate camps representing the Texian Army, the Soldados and civilians during the period.
Living historians and volunteers will demonstrate military drilling, battle medicine, weapons and aspects of civilian life. The event also includes musket firing and a tactical demonstration at 11.30am, while music from the Alamo Band is part of the programme. The organiser describes the event as free and open to the public. The 7 November event details give the date, venue and public access information.
Three camps connect the site with Texas Revolution history
The event takes place at a complex that served first as a Spanish mission and later as a military stronghold. That setting gives the programme a direct physical connection to the 1835 siege rather than presenting the episode only as a museum display.
Visitors can also encounter the living-history encampment behind the Church, where the site presents demonstrations about daily life during the Texas Revolution. Plaza de Valero is used for regular musket demonstrations, while the event page places Revolution Arrives at Alamo Plaza. The combination of camps, weapons demonstrations and the site itself links the military episode in 1835 with the surviving buildings and courtyards in San Antonio. The operator's visitor information describes the Church, grounds and living-history facilities.
