SAN ANTONIO – Watch all live Fiesta Flambeau Parade coverage on the KSAT+ page.
Show us your shoes! The crown jewel of Fiesta, the Flambeau Parade, will take place in downtown San Antonio on Saturday, April 27.
The Fiesta Flambeau Parade is known as America’s largest illuminated night parade with more than 200 parade entries and a typical attendance of about 750,000 spectators. It’s also broadcasted and livestreamed (on KSAT!) to about 1.5 million more people.
KSAT will broadcast a pre-party from 7-8 p.m., with parade coverage following from 8-11 p.m. The vanguard kicks off at 7:15 p.m. and the main parade starts at 7:45 p.m.
You can watch KSAT’s live coverage on KSAT 12, KSAT Plus (our free streaming app), YouTube and KSAT.com, or in the video player at the top of this article.
KSAT will also have a live feed from a barge so viewers can have a prime view of Fiesta fans along the parade route.

This year’s 2.6-mile route will follow the same path as last year. The parade steps off on North Main Street near San Antonio College. It will travel on Lexington Avenue, North St Mary’s Street, Brooklyn Avenue, Avenue E, Houston Street, Alamo Plaza, Commerce Street and Santa Rosa where it will end near West Martin Street.
The theme for 2024 is “Lotsa Loteria.” Michael Quintanilla, a former writer for the San Antonio Express-News, is the grand marshal. Angie Salinas, the CEO of Girl Scouts of Southwest Texas, is the honorary grand marshal.
The University of Texas Longhorn Band will be the parade’s premier band and will be joined by floats, marching units, local bands, bands from other cities and states, dance groups, equestrian units and others. For more information on the parade, click here.
If you’re interested in attending, KSAT will host a watch party along the route, and Insiders have a chance to win the best seat in the house.
