Fiesta WEBB Party returns, once again celebrating life during a pandemic

The San Antonio AIDS Foundation's Fiesta WEBB Party returns to the Aztec Theatre this Friday after a two-year hiatus.

, the WEBB party became an official Fiesta event in 2004, and serves as the foundation’s largest annual fundraiser.

The first WEBB Party was a family reunion of sorts, representing the family one has created and surrounded themselves with, Rohr-Allegrini said. The name of the party originated from the idea of coming together, she said. Over time, the party became a celebration of the LGBTQ community’s triumph over HIV, Rohr-Allegrini said. Since launching in 1986, SAAF’s mission has changed dramatically, she said. The organization was first launched by Robert “Papa Bear” Edwards, who saw how difficult it was for AIDS patients to get treatment in San Antonio.
