Rosemary Kowalski in memoriam (1924 – 2024). Rosemary Kowalski was a legend in San Antonio. As we mourn the loss of this beautifully kind, joyful and inspiring woman, we will continue to celebrate her legacy – a full century of philanthropy and community. Throughout her remarkable journey, Rosemary Kowalski carved an indelible mark on San Antonio’s landscape, demonstrating that true community leadership is measured not by personal accolades, but by the lives touched and the hope inspired. Her philanthropic spirit radiated far beyond boardrooms and event halls, reaching into the hearts of those who needed support most.

If you have reserved seating, look for signs directing you towards your seats. You can find additional seating information though local newspapers or use the parade seat locator on the Fiesta San Antonio page.

There is a non-smoking ban for all parades in Texas, so you are not permitted to smoke during the River Parade. For more rules and regulations, visit the Fiesta website.

Yes – many spectators walk around with alcoholic beverages in-hand. Alcoholic beverages are sold at Fiesta, but you can also bring your own beer. No glass containers, please.

It is our goal to accommodate all spectators. We will have a handicapped section available and ramps present at the parade.
