Alamo (Mission San Antonio de Valero) in San Antonio will host Revolution Arrives: Siege of Bexar on 7 November 2026. The living history event will connect the site with the first major conflict of the Texas Revolution.
Revolution Arrives brings the Siege of Bexar to Alamo Plaza
The programme is scheduled for Saturday, 7 November 2026, from 10am to 2pm at Alamo Plaza. The official listing describes it as a living history event commemorating the anniversary of the Siege of Bexar and places the venue at 300 Alamo Plaza in San Antonio.
The event page says living historians will present the early days of the revolution in San Antonio. Its programme includes musket firing demonstrations and three camps representing the Texian Army, Soldados and Civilians. The event programme for 7 November 2026 gives the date, venue and activities together.
The Alamo connects the event with a 300-year history
The site began as San Antonio de Valero Mission, founded in 1718. It moved to its present location in 1724, and the cornerstone of the chapel was laid in 1744, according to the Texas State Historical Association.
The mission later became a military site. During the Siege of Bexar in 1835, Mexican troops concentrated at the Alamo before seeking terms of surrender on 9 December. The 2026 programme therefore places its camps and demonstrations at a site directly associated with the conflict it recalls. The historical account of the Alamo records the site's changing roles.
The better-known siege of 1836 began on 23 February and lasted thirteen days. The complex is a National Historic Landmark and became part of the San Antonio Missions UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2015. Those designations place the November programme within both local Texas history and an internationally recognised cultural landscape.
