Who’s ready to Fiesta? We’re pulling out the medal storage boxes, our sarapes, and are keeping a diligent eye on where to find this year’s Fiesta medals. For those who don’t understand the hype — don’t worry, you will — in short, collecting commemorative Fiesta medals has been a San Antonio tradition since 1946.
Everyone gets in on it. From your favorite local coffee shop to nonprofits. Whether you’re a veteran Fiesta participant or are wanting to start your collection, we’ve compiled a list of free giveaway events to keep on your radar.
Pro tip: We highly recommend following the Fiesta Medal Maniacs Facebook group for even more medal collecting announcements.
