San Antonio is buzzing with anticipation as Fiesta, the city's renowned annual celebration, approaches, and locals are flocking to fiesta-themed stores for their last-minute party gear. Amid the pre-Fiesta hustle, Amols, a household name in party supplies, stands out not only for its vast array of festive merchandise but also for marking a significant milestone—its 75th year in business.

Serving the community since 1949, Amols has become synonymous with Fiesta, with customers lining up to snag piñatas, sombreros, and vibrant flower crowns. "We're celebrating 75 years in 2024," Jeffrey Weiss, the owner of Amols, told FOX San Antonio. "Quite an honor and something we're really proud of. To be part of the community for that long and also to keep it in the same family all these 75 years."

While Amols has remained a go-to destination now located on Fredericksburg Road, the Fiesta Store by North Star Mall is also a hotspot for festivity preparations. From colorful clothing to decorative papel picado, San Antonians leave no stone unturned to ensure their Fiesta experience is as authentic and joyous as possible.

In a testament to the city's spirit, local customers are not just shopping; they're crafting personal touches for the party with a purpose. KSAT photojournalist Ken Huizar captured the buzz, with patrons eagerly sharing their creative spin on Fiesta attire and decorations. The celebratory mood is palpable, amplified by the significance of Amols' 75th anniversary and the collective eagerness to partake in the city's cherished tradition.
