Cornyation: San Antonio's Outrageous Fiesta Tradition
By: Amy L. Stone
Created in 1951 by members of San Antonio's theater community as a satire so they could mock the elite with their own duchesses, empresses and queens, accompanied by men in drag and local political figures in outrageous costumes. This quickly transformed into a controversial parody of local and national politics and culture.
