SAN ANTONIO – Some of the major parades like Battle of Flowers and Fiesta Flambeau may have been canceled this year due to the coronavirus pandemic, but the Texas Cavaliers River Parade still went on to the delight of crowds of locals and visitors.
Each year during Fiesta, hundreds of thousands of people line the banks of the San Antonio River to view one of the most unusual parades in America - the Texas Cavaliers River Parade. This year the parade took place Monday night along the San Antonio Riverwalk.

Proceeds from the parade help the Cavalier Charitable Foundation which raises money for children’s charities. To date, the foundation has donated more than $10 million to charity, according to Fiesta San Antonio.
The Texas Cavaliers have also raised more than $1 million for the Will Smith Zoo School in San Antonio - the beneficiary of this year’s proceeds.
