The Alamo will celebrate the grand opening of the Alamo Promenade at 11 a.m. Nov. 21.

The details

According to a news release, the Alamo Promenade is a gateway leading to the Alamo grounds.

The promenade features statues of historical figures from the Texas Revolution, including Sam Houston, Juan Seguin, Jose Antonio Navarro and John William Smith, the Alamo courier. The promenade also features cobblestones detailing Texan history from early human settlement to statehood.

Speakers will include Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick and Alamo Trust Inc. President and CEO Hope Andrade. Together, they will cut the ribbon on a new chapter of the Alamo's 300-year history.

The Promenade is part of the Alamo Plan, a series of projects that seek to tell the larger story of Texas history. The plan includes reestablishing the original 4 1/2-acre footprint, building the Alamo Visitor Center and Museum, the Texas Cavaliers Education Center and a pedestrian mall.

The Alamo Plan is an ongoing effort with projects already completed, including the opening of the Ralston Family Collections Center on March 3, 2023, and the opening of the Mission Gate and Lunette on May 10, 2024.
