A Beloved Tradition

Nearly 7,000 people gathered at A&M-San Antonio in May for the 13th annual Festival de Cascarones, a fun-filled end to the Fiesta season. Guests at the free, family- and pet-friendly event enjoyed live music, including headliner Grupo Solido, along with games, carnival rides and delicious food, from mini tacos to chicken-on-a-stick. “We are excited to bring the San Antonio community together on our campus for this long-standing, beloved tradition,” said President Salvador Hector Ochoa. “This is a special event for the South Side, and one that will continue to grow as the University grows."
