There are going to be performances by major musical acts including the Black Eyed Peas, Ava Max and AJR. The Fiesta Porch Parade special will be hosted by Good Morning San Antonio’s Stephanie Serna and Mark Austin.
The first hour of the Porch Parade will feature tons of information about Fiesta’s history including traditions that date back hundreds of years. Also during the first hour, Ava Max will perform her hit song “Kings and Queens” as KSAT spotlights all the kings and queens who will rule Fiesta for 2021.
Winners of the porch parade contest will be announced during the special with grand prize winners in residential, business and school categories.
During the second hour of the special, Black Eyed Peas, Ozuna and J. Rey Soul will perform their hit “Mamacita!” and brothers Adam, Jack and Ryan, better known as “AJR” will perform their hit “Bang.”
“We’ve partnered with the Battle of Flowers Parade and the Fiesta Flambeau Parade to celebrate with a Porch Parade blowout never before seen in South Texas,” said KSAT 12 General Manager Phil Lane. “With help from ‘iHeart Radio’s 96.1 Now and Russell Rush,’ they have been able to secure some amazing talent to help us celebrate Fiesta and we think the local audience will be thrilled.”
