The Fiesta Flambeau® Parade is internationally known as “America’s Largest Illuminated Night Parade”. This spectacular nighttime parade annually attracts more than seven hundred fifty thousand street spectators and continues to grow each year. The parade is considered the premier event of the 11 days of Fiesta® San Antonio
The idea of this illuminated night parade was the brainchild of Reynolds Andricks who was long time Fiesta® entrepreneur. In 1948 he recommended that a ‘new’ parade take place at night and that it be called Fiesta Flambeau®. Taking the inspiration from the night parades of Mardi Gras in New Orleans he believed, with help, he could create a unique event in San Antonio. He contacted William Petmecky from the Texas hill country of Fredericksburg. Mr. Petmecky was widely recognized as a ‘Festival Impresario’.
Plans for the 2020 Fiesta Flambeau Parade have been underway for some time and are nearing completion. We are a dedicated group of volunteer members who are tirelessly working to produce the best parade possible. Join us on November 14, 2020 to celebrate the City of San Antonio’s most exciting week and the country’s largest illuminated night parade. We hope to see you at the parade!
