Many would argue that ringing in the New Year simply can’t be done right without fireworks. Thousands of San Antonians descended into Hemisfair Park Saturday night for Celebrate San Antonio, Texas’ biggest New Year’s Eve celebration complete with a carnival, live music, and food.

The celebration culminated with an impressive fireworks show, illuminating the downtown sky in vibrant colors as spectators cheered and celebrated.

The festivities served as a reminder of all of the growth and change worth celebrating in the city that occurred over the past year, and all of the exciting new things to come.

Happy New Year, San Antonio.
