Join in on the mayhem, murder, and ghost stories in an exciting ghost hunting experience at Alamo City Ghost Tours, the top-voted ghost tour in America by USA Today and Tripadvisor. As the oldest ghost tour, you and a group of brave souls can seek out the age-old question, do ghosts exist? How? Starting with the ghostly tour guide, they will lead you through haunted buildings, hospitals, old battlefields, and disturbed graveyards as they tell you the storied wicked past at each site. Are you experiencing strange sensations or hearing unexplainable sounds? Here is your chance to stir up the restless spirit by using the EMF detectors that show magnetic fields, the digital thermometers for cold spots, the dowsing rods to locate energy, and the spirit box to communicate with ghostly beings.
Festive music fills the air as vibrant floats of the Texas Cavaliers River Parade flow through the San Antonio river in a one-of-a-kind celebration that brings a unique experience to the city.

The first parade included several boats for schools, local businesses, civic organizations, and the army. The Texas Cavaliers River Parade has found its way into the hearts of over 250,000 spectators each year, and the money raised supports local children’s charities through the Texas Cavaliers Charitable Foundation.
