Remembering Easter Weekend at Brackenridge Park

Easter Sunday Photo Editorial 2010 Retrospective By Dr. Ricardo Romo

Easter is one of the major religious holidays for Latinos and Brackenridge Park has been a major destination for many San Antonio families who spent the Easter weekend at the Park campgrounds. Over two Easter weekends in 2009 and 2010, I walked the entire grounds of the Park for my photo story. I talked to families who had camped at the Park for 65 years straight. A selection of my 2,000 Easter photos at the Park were shown at the Witte Museum and the Institute of Texan Cultures. Included here are a small number of my photos documenting Brackenridge Park at Easter. Unfortunately, this Easter the Park will be closed for safety reasons due to the Coronavirus crisis. Be well. Be safe.
