It\u2019s one of San Antonio\u2019s most vibrant and meaningful celebrations, the Day of the Dead River Parade! From dazzling floats to lively music and heartfelt tributes, this year\u2019s event is bringing even more new experiences to the River Walk. Roslyn Castaneda joined us to share what\u2019s ahead.<\/p>\n

To highlight the celebration, two exciting additions are making waves: the return of Tradition Trail and the debut of the Calaverita Run.<\/p>\n

The Day of the Dead River Parade kicks off next weekend and offers a beautiful way to learn about and celebrate D\u00eda de los Muertos traditions. Even before the parade begins, visitors can admire colorful alebrijes sprinkled throughout the River Walk.<\/p>\n

Tradition Trail is back and filled with calaveras, alebrijes, and altars lining the water. Special River Walk cruises will also be available, offering a guided journey through the history and meaning behind the celebration.<\/p>\n

And for those looking to stay active, the Calaverita Run\u2014a 5K and family walk\u2014takes place the day after the parade, adding a fun and festive way to keep the spirit alive.<\/p>\n
