SAN ANTONIO – Tim Morrow, the president and CEO of the San Antonio Zoo, was announced as the grand marshal for the 2026 Battle of Flowers Parade.
Morrow will lead the Battle of Flowers Parade on Friday, April 24. Step-off time is at 9:55 a.m.
“To be named the grand marshal of the 135th Battle of Flowers Parade is truly one of the greatest honors of my life,” Morrow said.
Morrow is a graduate of the University of Texas at San Antonio and also attended San Antonio College.
He said the city has always held a “special place in his heart.”
“I literally love Fiesta. It’s my favorite time of the year, to be honest,” Morrow said. “Don’t tell my priest, but I love it more than Christmas.”
He said in the Thursday news conference that he’s humbled and inspired to follow in the footsteps of past grand marshals.
This year’s theme is “From Pages to Possibilities,” celebrating storytelling, imagination and the magic of books.
KSAT, the official Fiesta broadcast partner, will air the parade in English and Spanish live on KSAT 12, KSAT.com and stream for free on KSAT Plus.
