The annual Texas Cavaliers River Parade features more than 45 brilliantly adorned floats gliding down the San Antonio River as hundreds of children take in the sights and sounds of this historic event. Proceeds benefit the Texas Cavaliers Charitable Foundation’s mission.

Developed in 1989, the Charitable Foundation provides critical resources to programs that improve the lives of young people — from health and education to recreation and family support — ensuring that the spirit of giving remains at the heart of everything the Cavaliers do.

During Fiesta week, the Texas Cavaliers host three special community programs — the Children’s River Extravaganza, the Military Fiesta, and the Salute to First Responders. Each of these outreach initiatives was created to honor and support those who serve our community and to give back to children, families, and individuals most in need.

Throughout Fiesta, King Antonio serves as the face of the Texas Cavaliers — leading with honor, service, and community spirit. He presides over the River Parade, visits schools and charities across San Antonio, and helps share the Cavaliers’ mission of giving back to children and families in need.
