Fiesta may have started last week, but on Monday, thousands of San Antonians flocked to the River Walk for the Texas Cavaliers River Parade—the first major public gathering since the Covid-19 pandemic canceled the annual event last year. Just eyeballing the festivities, it didn’t seem as packed as previous years, but downtown streets were still flooded with people dressed in colorful outfits, dancing to the music of the passing floats, drinking adult beverages, and eating their favorite Fiesta food. Above are some of the scenes we saw.
