History of Fiesta Especial
RIVER CITY CHRISTIAN SCHOOL
Fiesta Especial was created by students at River City Christian School (RCCS) in 2003 and became an official Fiesta event in 2006. Until 2009, Fiesta Especial was held at the RCCS campus on Blanco Road. Due to the growth of Fiesta Especial (7,000 attendees in 2008) and the amount of time and resources needed to organize and fund the event, RCCS did not hold Fiesta Especial in 2010.
REACHING MAXIMUM INDEPENDENCE, INC.
In 2013, Reaching Maximum Independence, Inc. inherited the programs from the school and worked to increase the outreach of Fiesta Especial by adding on the Royal Court, Competitive 5K and a Parade to the carnival experience.
DISABILITYSA
In June of 2017, the operations for the Fiesta Especial programs were moved over to disABILITYsa, which now serves as the official Partner Member Organization (PMO) sanctioned by the Fiesta San Antonio Commission to operate Fiesta Especial. disABILITYsa has continued to grow the programs, emphasizing the inclusiveness of the 5K, community engagement for the parade, and the visibility for the royal court programs.
