Kick-off Rodeo Season with Round Up at the Alamo - February 1

Dust off your cowboy boots and kick-off Rodeo season at Round Up at the Alamo. Round Up will feature a full-day of cowboy-themed programming, one week before the San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo begins. Visitors can experience interactive programs with the Alamo Living Historians that delve into what life was like for cowboys on the Texas Frontier in the 19th Century.

Interactive activities and demonstrations will focus on life in the 1800s, including weapons of the old west, cooking in the 19th century, branding, post-civil war medicine, roping, sewing, western lawmen, and 1880s vaqueros. There will be special demonstrations throughout the day, including live firing demonstrations, a musical performance of songs to soothe a cowboy's heart, tales from the cattle trail, and more.

There is no charge to attend Round Up, though donations are kindly accepted.
