Fiesta Cornyation is one of Texas’ most enduring Fiesta traditions, founded in 1951 by San Antonio’s theater community. This 18+, volunteer-run satire roasts local and national topics with elaborate recycled-material costumes and a playful crown—King Anchovy—at its center. Each year, thousands tune in to laugh, support, and celebrate a cause that helps local nonprofits and scholarships. Tickets are typically managed through the Majestic Empire Theatre system for events at the Charline McCombs Empire Theatre in downtown San Antonio.

Fiesta Cornyation is more than a show; it’s a community effort. With around 200 volunteers and ongoing fundraising, the production has raised millions for charity, including organizations like the San Antonio AIDS Foundation, BEAT AIDS, Thrive Youth Center, and the Robert Rehm Theatrical Arts Scholarship. 2025’s edition, The Court of Marmalade Morass Madness, took the stage at Charline McCombs Empire Theatre with performances at 7:00 pm and 10:00 pm from April 29 through May 1. A waitlist for 2026 indicates the tradition continues to grow. Follow official channels for updates and tickets, and secure your seats early through the Majestic Empire Theatre system.
