Holy Cow, What a night!
This year’s San Jacinto Night was the best one to date! We had more than 350 people in attendance and raised more than $7,500 for the Emergency Service Pipes and Drums at the Silent Auction. The Hilton really outdid themselves and everyone seemed to appreciate the new venue.
Thank you to all who joined us. It was a night to remember!

What is San Jacinto Night?
San Jacinto Night is a fundraiser for the Austin Fire Museum. It’s a modern version of San Jacinto Day celebrations that began in 1871. We are breathing new life into a dormant tradition in the Austin Fire Department and want you to help us make it bigger and better than it ever was!
How do I get to San Jacinto Night?
Buy your tickets ASAP! We sell out every year and there are no tickets sold at the door. You have two options: Catch one of our ticket sellers when they stop by the fire station. You can pay by cash or check. Museum Members get $5 off per ticket for up to 2 tickets! (Become a Museum Member by signing up for Payroll Deductions)

Why should I go to San Jacinto Night?
It’s a rebirth of one of the Austin Fire Department’s oldest traditions. It’s a night we honor those firefighters that have gone above and beyond the call of duty. It’s a chance to relax and catch up with old friends. It’s a night to enjoy delicious food, listen to great music and create new traditions. Just ask anyone who has joined us in years past: It’s a blast!
