Cannon Firing Experience

Looking to make a bang at your next event? Treat your guests to a once-in-a-lifetime experience with a live cannon firing provided by the Alamo.

This event package will include Alamo staff, a brief presentation on the history of the cannon, safety training, hearing protection for all guests, and the opportunity for you and your guests to fire 14-live shots from the Alamo’s 18-Pounder cannon – similar to the one Lt. Col. William Barret Travis fired on February 23, 1836, communicating to Santa Anna that the Alamo would “never surrender or retreat.” Event location must be at least 10 acres and within 120 miles of San Antonio.

This opportunity is available in gratitude and appreciation for a significant gift to the Remember the Alamo Foundation. Please complete the form below if you are interested.

Located in the heart of San Antonio, the Alamo stands as a Shrine to Texas Liberty. The Alamo tells the story of Texas Independence as part of its rich and diverse 300-year history to over 1.6 million visitors every year and is the #1 most visited destination in the State of Texas. The story of the Alamo is world renowned and represents the core of Texas’ identity today. The ongoing effort to restore dignity and reverence to this sacred historic site through the comprehensive Alamo Plan is underway. 

When you donate to the Alamo, you support preservation efforts to help ensure that the Alamo Church, Long Barrack, and artifact collection are well taken care of for future generations to enjoy. Make your gift today so that future generations will Remember the Alamo. 

Your gift is received through the Remember the Alamo Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, that provides support exclusively for the Alamo and its preservation, educational outreach, and public programs. The Foundation’s tax number is 47-4470136.
