We’re about a week away from the 4th of July, so it’s time to start planning how we are going to spend this great holiday. And if you are visiting San Antonio, then you are in luck. Because there are a lot of fun celebrations going on throughout the city. Some take place on the Fourth of July. Some take place around the Fourth of July. I want to go over some of the best.
1. Armed Force River Parade
What’s a good 4th of July celebration without a parade? San Antonio will be hosting a great Fourth of July Parade a few days before Independence Day, on Sunday, July 2, 2023, from 6:00 to 7:00 PM. This parade features decorated parade floats carrying all branches of the United States Armed Forces. Both active and retired members will be participating. So come out and support our troops in the parade!
The parade starts at the International Center at 203 S. St. Mary’s Street and lasts about forty minutes. You can find out more information here.
2. 4th of July Fireworks Spectacular
Also, what is the Fourth of July without a great fireworks show? There is a wonderful fireworks show going on at SeaWorld San Antonio. It is a wonderful fireworks show set to a great musical score.
You can see this fireworks show if you have a ticket to SeaWorld San Antonio. And so not only can you enjoy the fireworks show, but you can enjoy a fun day at the theme park. And it just so happens that you can currently save up to 45% on tickets if you buy your ticket here.
