Radio Fiesta 2026 – a 2 day hamfest in May for the Greater San Antonio ham community

Radio Fiesta 2026 – a 2 day event.

A long time tradition in San Antonio is the San Antonio Radio Club’s annual Radio Fiesta. This event brings together amateur radio operators, vendors, and those interested in the hobby for a day of exploration, testing, and informational sessions.

Radio Fiesta 2026 is scheduled for Friday, May 29 and Saturday, May 30, 2026, with setup for vendors and flea market dealers at 0700(7am).

The public operating hours are 12:00 – 5:00 pm Friday and 8:00 a. m. to 1:00 p. m. Saturday, May 30, 2026.

There will be a tailgate area in the parking lot on Saturday.

We have a selection of seminars at four different times on Saturday, presented in a separate building at the Civic Center. Radio Fiesta will offer license testing to those interested in obtaining their amateur radio license or upgrading their current license. Operation of an amateur station requires a license granted by the FCC.
