Fiesta is what happens when an entire city agrees to be obsessed at the same time, for eleven days, every April, since 1891.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFiesta Texas Flag Art by Betsy Crum\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis one puts FIESTA in worn letterpress capitals over a weathered Texas flag, which is about right — the thing began as a nod to San Jacinto and the Alamo and turned into something considerably noisier. If you grew up here, the word is not an event, it is a smell: anticucho smoke and spilled beer drifting through La Villita on a NIOSA night, chicken on a stick in one hand and no room in the crowd to lift the other. It is somebody's grandmother cracking a cascarón on the crown of your head so the confetti goes straight down your shirt. It is medals — traded, begged for, pinned on until the sash clanks when you walk — and Battle of Flowers Friday, when the schools let out for a parade that women founded in 1891 and women still run.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt works in a kitchen or an entry, and it works better next to \u003ca href=\"\/products\/san-antonio-earl-abel-s-viva-fiesta-marquee-big-sky-print-betsy-crum\"\u003ethe Earl Abel's Viva Fiesta marquee\u003c\/a\u003e or anything else in \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/san-antonio-art-prints-gifts\"\u003eSan Antonio art prints\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQuestions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere does the quote come from?\u003c\/strong\u003e Steinbeck wrote \"Texas is a state of mind.
