Last year the Texas Cavaliers River Parade was a sold out event with record-breaking attendance allowing for the organization to donate more than $2,500,000 to local children’s charities. This year is gearing up to be even better.
Each year, the Texas Cavaliers River Parade kicks off on the first Monday of Fiesta. About 18,000 available tickets fill up fast, and proceeds from the event directly benefit thousands of children in San Antonio. To-date the Texas Cavaliers Charitable Foundation has given more than $17.5 million dollars for more than 100 local children’s charities, and this year they’re aiming even higher.
Each fall, the Texas Cavaliers start the Fiesta buzz with an official parade reveal media event. This year, you’re invited to the historic Red Berry Estate to hear all about this year’s parade theme and to get a first look at this year’s medal. You’ll also be able to learn more about the 2025 charitable honorees – which for the first time in Texas Cavaliers history includes more than one honoree. King Antonio will be on site for the celebration, as well as a beloved San Antonio figure who will be officially announced as this year’s celebrity Grand Marshal.
The 80th Texas Cavaliers River Parade is scheduled for Monday, April 28, 2025, and medals will be released for purchase on the Texas Cavaliers website soon. Tickets for the event are expected to go on sale on December 1 to legacy ticket holders, with sales opening to the general public on January 1, 2025.
The Texas Cavaliers were originally founded by civic and community leaders dedicated to the preservation of the bravery and independence for which the heroes of the Alamo fought and died. In 2023, the Texas Cavaliers made history by pledging $5 million to Remember The Alamo Foundation – the largest charitable donation ever made to the foundation. This five-year pledge is set to culminate in 2026 during the 100th anniversary of the Texas Cavaliers.
Join us Dec. 3, as we officially kick off the 2025 Fiesta festivities.
