SAN ANTONIO – Fiesta is coming to a close with one of the last and biggest events taking place Saturday night -- the Fiesta Flambeau Parade.
Thousands lined the streets of downtown San Antonio to catch a glimpse.
Many spectators were excited about this year's Flambeau, especially after getting through Friday night's storms.
"We were worried about it, but it's been hot all day," said Alma Cardenas. "There's been sun. It's been awesome."
At the start of the parade were San Antonio Police Chief Anthony Trevino and San Antonio Fire Chief Charles Hood.
And of course, the Longhorn fans along the route were excited to see the University of Texas Longhorn Band.
The Flambeau Parade, known as the biggest illuminated parade in the country, always draws the crowds, and for many, it's a family tradition.
"We've been coming for years, since I was a little girl," said Yolanda Hernandez. "My grandma use to bring us. It was beautiful for many, many years."
"We've been coming here for 20 years," said Rich Hovey who got a front row spot on the route. "And this is the first time we're on the front row. It's better."
Whether you're experiencing the parade through the front row or if you're actually marching in the parade, it's always a good time.
"It's awesome," said Abel Trevino. "This is my first year. My son's a sophomore in the (Harlandale) band and he's the one that made me come out and march with him."
And, of course, we also caught up with ABC's John Quinones, who made it back home to San Antonio to serve as the grand marshal of this year's Flambeau.
