As Fiesta 2023 is off to a chilly and wet start, NIOSA is continuing its tradition of hanging the “Rain Rock” to prevent further disruptions from bad weather.
But NIOSA officials say they will still continue the decades-long tradition, which happens on the Monday before NIOSA, to ward off undesirable weather.
“The NIOSA Rain Rock tradition dates back to the late 1970s when NIOSA volunteer Sue Armitage assured then NIOSA chairman Joanna Parrish, who was fretting about ominous clouds, with the Texas good luck tradition of hanging a rock with a hole in it on a fence to ward off bad weather. That year, Joanna took her advice, and NIOSA was blessed with beautiful weather,” a news release states.NIOSA runs from Tuesday to Friday at La Villita.
