Fiesta Cornyation returns for 2024 with 'The Court of Peripheral Opulence'
Originally launched as a parody of the annual Coronation of the Queen of the Order of the Alamo, this 73-year-old Fiesta tradition long ago turned its focus to satirizing local, state and national politics. This year's "The Court of Peripheral Opulence" will crown longtime San Antonio artist Cruz Ortiz as King Anchovy LVII, the head of a court of extravagantly costumed actors delivering skits lampooning current events and high-profile personalities.
