“One of the highlights of the night is definitely going to be the vintage car show. It’s a nod to our past and the technological advances that have been part of our lives,” shared an event organizer.
In addition to music and vintage cars, the event will feature a variety of food vendors providing local and international cuisines, ensuring that there’s something to satisfy every palate. As night falls, the sky above Alamo will light up with a grand fireworks display, symbolizing the bright future that lies ahead.
“We’re going to have fireworks at the end of the night. It’s going to be magical, and we really want everybody to be there to witness this spectacular moment,” the organizer added excitedly.
A Community Effort
The centennial celebration is not just a city-led effort but a collaboration among various local businesses and community groups. From planning stages to execution, community members have been integral in bringing this event to life, showcasing Alamo’s spirit of togetherness and cooperation.
