THIS APRIL, THE SAN JACINTO BATTLEGROUND will once again hear the booming of cannons, the cracking of musket fire, and the shouts of “Remember the Alamo!” "Remember La Bahia!"On Saturday, April 26, from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. the 2025 San Jacinto Day Celebration, presented by the San Jacinto Museum and the Texas Historical Commission, will be a day of fun, reenactments, and living history activities celebrating the 189th anniversary of the Battle of San Jacinto. Reenactors dressed in period clothing will make the epic events of April 1836 come alive, and reenactments throughout the day will recreate the dramatic events that led to one of the most decisive and impactful military victories in the history of North America.
