Alamo Heights Night, an official Fiesta event, canceled for 2026

Event organizer cited declining attendance, revenue

ALAMO HEIGHTS, Texas – The 2026 edition of Alamo Heights Night, an outdoor block party and an official Fiesta event, has been canceled.

In a Tuesday morning statement to KSAT, Fiesta Executive Director Steve Rosenauer confirmed the cancellation.

The Alamo Heights Rotary Club, the event’s organizer, said in a statement that the club had notified Fiesta organizers about the cancellation, “but apparently there was a failure of communication.”

“We thought we had communicated to Fiesta months ago that we couldn’t offer the event this year but that message was somehow lost,” club President Rick Thorp said.

Alamo Heights Night, which was originally scheduled for April 17, 2026, has experienced cancellations before.

The COVID-19 pandemic shelved the event in 2020 and 2021, and the event has had declining attendance and revenue since then, according to Thorp.

“Revenues last year did not raise sufficient funds for organizers to finance the event this year. ... The event had become one that barely breaks even, which was limiting the ability of the club to provide charitable contributions to various nonprofits in the community,” the club said in a news release.

Alamo Heights Night is a family friendly block party with food, drinks and entertainment and has been an official Fiesta event since 2014.
