The Alamo City is ready to party again. You can see this post-pandemic revival on the River Walk, San Antonio’s beating heart, which is once again bustling with boat tours, twinkling lights, and patios full of locals and tourists sipping on beers and margaritas while music spills out of its restaurants.
Starting this week, hundreds of thousands of people are expected to gather along the banks of the River Walk for the return of the seventy-sixth annual Texas Cavaliers River Parade, part of the city’s annual Fiesta celebration, which, because of the coronavirus, was canceled in 2020 and postponed until June this year.
