SAN ANTONIO – San Antonio’s iconic Battle of Flowers Parade returns Friday and is expected to bring hundreds of thousands of spectators downtown.
In addition to English, KSAT is also livestreaming the Battle of Flowers Parade in Spanish on all platforms.
KSAT’s Sarah Acosta and RJ Marquez previewed the parade during GMSA at 9 a.m. on Friday in the below video.
The nation’s only all-women-produced parade will honor tradition and creativity as it winds through the city’s heart, led by grand marshal Tim Morrow, president and CEO of the San Antonio Zoo.
KSAT’s Madalynn Lambert is also embedded for sights and sounds at the parade.
This year’s theme, “From Pages to Possibilities,” celebrates storytelling, imagination and the magic of books.
The parade steps off on North Main Street near San Antonio College. It will travel on Lexington Avenue, North St. Mary’s Street, Brooklyn Avenue, Avenue E, Houston Street, Alamo Plaza, Commerce Street and Santa Rosa, where it will end near West Martin Street.
