“Out of an abundance of caution, public safety officials strongly advise residents to stay off the roads,” the release states. “Both the San Antonio Police Chief and Fire Chief are urging the community to avoid travel and remain safe.”
The Texas Cavaliers River Parade is a charitable foundation, which is why there were no refunds available. Proceeds continue to benefit children in San Antonio, according to a press release.
“We want people to know that their support is already making a meaningful impact, and we’ve already delivered checks to 53 local children’s charities,” a Texas Cavaliers press release stated. “So while the parade did not take place, the impact of everyone’s support absolutely did.”
KSAT was initially scheduled to stream the 81st annual parade from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.
