SAN ANTONIO – It’s almost time for San Antonio’s Day Of The Dead River Parade!
The parade is taking place at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 29. KSAT will be broadcasting the parade live starting at 8 p.m. on KSAT 12, on KSAT.com or on our free streaming platform that works with most smart devices. Don’t miss the after-party on KSAT at 9 p.m.
Want to get the best seats? You can still purchase tickets online here - but be advised there’s only a limited number of tickets remaining and they could sell out.
Before all the colorful, illuminated floats snake through the San Antonio River, however, we’ve got some behind-the-scenes photos below to share as organizers transform the famed River Walk for tonight’s event.
Hand-painted skulls by local artists will be on display. The celebration will also include a culinary ofrenda, or altar, that showcases the city’s best when it comes to food and drinks.
Worried about the weather? Don’t be - the forecast shows no chance for rain. All you need is a light jacket.
