As you know the Fiesta Flambeau Parade is a spectacular nighttime event held annually here in San Antonio. Known for our vibrant floats, costumed participants, marching bands, and illuminated entries, the parade is a major highlight of Fiesta.
Each year, the Fiesta Flambeau Parade has a specific theme that guides the designs of floats and performances. Each theme allows parade participants to creatively express themselves through their floats, costumes, and performances, contributing to our parade’s reputation as the “largest illuminated night parade in the country.” This year’s logo features a few aspects you might consider on your next road trip across the state. These arts included in this year’s logo are: Quinta Mazatlan in the McAllen, the Vaquero sculptures in El Paso, the “Friendly Cowboy Western String Band” in Lubbock, Texas, the beautiful Dandelion Fountain at Buffalo Bayou Park in Houston, Sand Castles in Corpus Christi to El Trompo in downtown San Antonio.
Whether you’re referring to art events, cultural arts, landmarks, or culinary arts, Texas is a state with a rich and diverse array of offerings “Deep in the Arts of Texas”
