Celebrate San Jacinto Day at Battlefield

April 21 means San Jacinto Day, marking the 1836 battle which won Texas’s independence from Mexico. There’s no better place to learn more about the event than at the San Jacinto Battlefield State Historic Site in LaPorte. From 10am-6pm, the park site will celebrate with reenactments and living history encampments. Look for reenactors in period costumes, demonstrations of period weapons, children’s activities, food (although picnics are also welcome) and more. For more information, call 281-479-2431.
