This year’s parade featured floats from: Fiesta Royalty, San Antonio Orchestra, Battle of Flowers Association,San Antonio Mayor and City Council and more.

KSAT’s Myra Arthur and David Sears anchored the event, surrounded by an excited crowd dancing and cheering in a shower of confetti.

All money from the event will go local charities and kids through the Texas Cavaliers Charitable Foundation.
