San Antonio's Day of the Dead River Parade celebrates the holiday with a flotilla of brightly colored barges.
San Antonio’s famous River Walk feels like two different places by day and night. When the sun’s up it’s a pleasant enough way to explore the city and visit some of its restaurants, bars and hotels. It really comes to life at night, though, when darkness imbues it with mystery and an enchanting atmosphere that feels more European than Texan. And, on at least one night of the year, it becomes a third thing entirely: a bright, festive celebration of lost family and friends.
Some of these floats were almost breathtaking in their ambition and level of detail. On a Cointreau-sponsored barge a brightly lit up, multi-hued sea serpent alebrije rippled from one end to the other, with streaks of red and green dotted with splashes of blue and yellow as its body seemingly coiled beneath and up through the boat. A toothy grin and flickering tongue joined a wide-eyed, goofy expression that made this monster look adorably harmless.
LGBTQIA community celebrating between them. Whether a float was intricately designed or stripped down, every approach was equally valid, as long as it was in keeping with the joyous spirit of the day.
