SAN ANTONIO – If you can't make it downtown on Friday for the Day of the Dead River Walk parade, known as Catrinas on the River, KSAT has you covered. 

We'll be broadcasting the parade on KSAT 12 from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. Friday.

Online viewers on KSAT.com will have access to a brand new livestream experience — a way to watch every angle of the festivities, hosted by KSAT anchors, and create your own broadcast.

The marquee event for the city's Day of the Dead celebrations will feature colorful barges decorated with skeletons, skulls, candles, incense, marigolds and pan de muerto. Read more about the parade here. You can get tickets here.
