Fiesta medals have been a San Antonio staple for decades. Now the Fiesta San Antonio Commission is taking that beloved bling to the future with Fiesta’s first-ever NFT or non-fungible token, a special digital collectible.
Feast your eyes on the Taste of Fiesta 2022 NFT, a GIF-like Fiesta animation that’s like a pin-on for your screen instead of your shirt or sash.
The Fiesta San Antonio Commission has released its first-ever NFT or non-fungible token, a digital collectible that’s a lot like an animated Fiesta medal. The NFT is for Taste of Fiesta, which runs Friday at Aggie Park.
