San Antonio – Ford Holiday River Parade

This is a parade like no other! You’ll find Illuminated boat floats cruising down the San Antonio River Walk every holiday season, and the theme this year is Texas Music Christmas. Grammy winners will be adorning the floats and performing for the crowds – look out for Billy Gibbons, Flaco Jimenez, Jimmie Vaughan and more artists! For the best spots in the house, we recommend purchasing your tickets, but there are limited free viewingareas you can also take advantage of. Join all your friends and family for this one-of-a-kind parades’ 39th season!
