ABOUT FIESTA AT THOMPSON | FIESTA FLAMBEAU PARADE
The Flambeau Parade, known as one of America’s best, lights up the final weekend of Fiesta San Antonio, captivating millions of spectators. Originating from the French word for torch, participants illuminate the Texas evening, creating a spectacle akin to a sky full of stars. Civil engineer Reynolds Andricks conceptualized the parade, drawing inspiration from New Orleans’ Mardi Gras and the expertise of festival impresario William Petmecky from Fredericksburg. Together, they crafted Fiesta Flambeau into a unique and dazzling nighttime event, adding a new dimension to San Antonio’s festivities.
The Fiesta Flambeau Parade travels through beautiful and historic downtown San Antonio and is considered the premier event of the 11 days of Fiesta San Antonio. It is viewed by over 750,000 street spectators along a 2.6-mile parade route.
