Rey Feo LXXI crowned on warm, celebratory Friday evening

The annual Fiesta ceremony honors the community member who raised the most money for local scholarships the year prior as part of the Rey Feo Scholarship Program.

SAN ANTONIO — Friday afternoon saw the reign of Rey Feo LXXI begin at La Villita, the tongue-in-cheek crowning of “The Ugly King” that, in actuality, honors the person who raised the most money the year prior for local scholarships as part of the Rey Feo Scholarship Foundation.

Hundreds of Fiesta-goers convened at Arneson River to see this year’s honor going to Dr. Salvatore Barbaro III—a local cardiologist and 20-year resident of San Antonio.

It was a celebration complete with flying confetti, dancer, chants of “Viva Fiesta!” and the occasional River Walk boat tour interrupting the regal proceedings.
