About Fiesta

Fiesta® San Antonio dates back to 1891 and started as a one-parade event. More than a century later, Fiesta continues to celebrate the rich and diverse cultures that make up San Antonio. The most popular event each year is the Texas Cavaliers River Parade. The parade began in 1941 after Texas Cavaliers were inspired by the boats and barges decorated with flowers in Mexico City. Now, over 250,000 spectators annually visit the River Walk to watch it come to live the first Monday of Fiesta each year in April. The parade and all money raised supports local children’s charities through the Texas Cavaliers Charitable Foundation.
