Thousands of people lined the San Antonio River Walk for the Texas Cavaliers River Parade on Monday, April 28.
The parade consisted of dozens of decorated floats traveling down the San Antonio River. The parade started on the northern part of the San Antonio River, near Navarro Street, and winded through the Shops at Rivercenter and restaurants between Crockett and College streets.
KSAT provided coverage of the parade at 7 p.m. on KSAT 12, KSAT.com and KSAT Plus. River Parade en Español, KSAT’s Spanish coverage of the festivities, is also available on KSAT Plus and KSAT.com.
The SA Live After Party followed the parade coverage.
The parade theme is “Shine Bright,” and the grand marshal is the late business icon Rosemary Kowalski.
The Texas Cavaliers consist of about 500 business and community leaders. The organization was founded in 1926, and in 1989, the Texas Cavaliers developed the Texas Cavaliers Charitable Foundation to support local charities.
KSAT has created a guide to everything you need to know about the 11-day celebration.
Also, be sure to check the weather forecast from the KSAT Weather Authority team before heading out to the party so you can dress appropriately.
