The annual celebration of the Battle of San Jacinto will take place Saturday, April 20, 2013, 10 a.m. - 6 p.m. on the San Jacinto Battleground State Historic Site in La Porte, just east of Houston. The San Jacinto Day Festival and Battle Reenactment is a full day of music, entertainment, food, games and fun set amidst living history. The Battle Reenactment, the most popular event of the day, dramatizes the decisive battle where General Sam Houston led his Texian soldiers to victory over the Mexican Army. Throughout the day, festival activities on the grounds surrounding the San Jacinto Monument provide more educational fun: live Texas music, living history demonstrations, children’s craft area, petting zoo and several entertaining shows. State historical groups are out in large numbers – DRT, SRT, San Jacinto Descendants – many wearing period dress. The monument is open all day. Through corporate sponsorships, the San Jacinto Museum of History Association is able to maintain this as a public admission-free event. For more information, the public may call 281-479-2421 or visit http://www.sanjacinto-museum.org/. This year celebrates the 177th anniversary of Texas independence!
