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. Texas Cavaliers and the parade sponsors decorated every float with bright flowers and vibrant colors, and the tradition of the River Parade began. 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.
