Battle of Flowers San Antonio
In these days that we are living inside homes or with fear to the Covid19, I would like to honor one of the oldest and largest parades in USA, since 1891. Although is usually celebrated in April, this year has been postponed to fall, but we were lucky enough to enjoy our first year 2016 and more.
It began as a “patriotic celebration to honor the heroes of the Alamo, Goliad and the Battle of San Jacinto”. Nowadays, and after four years what I remember more is the explosion of color and music, the sunny days in spring, flowers everywhere, every association and school of the city in bright uniforms, soldiers, cadets and civilians proudly carrying their flags, that of Texas of the Stars and Stripes.
Mixed with all these feelings, people, enjoying the party, the music of the bands, the food, sharing with family or friends. We were there in April 2016, day and night. During the day you feel the sun, try to find a place to sit down and wait the long hours, taking some drinks, tacos, tortillas, … At night all the bands, cars and trucks with thousands of lights.

La cabalgata de Battle of Flowers en San Antonio es una de las más multitudinarias y con más tradición de estados unidos.
en la primavera del 2016 por primera vez disfrutamos de este desfile de carrozas, bandas y militares con banderas, flores, música, globos, … un espectáculo digno de disfrutar.
Ahora este año 2020 ha sido aplazada al otoño, así que con estas pocas fotos rindo homenaje a la fiesta y a tanta gente que la prepara durante todo el año, …. y que volverá.
