The top-notch collection of musicians and singers, known as Eddie and The Valiants, began taking shape in the spring of 2017, helmed by bandleader Eduardo “DJ Plata” Hernandez, founding member of SunDay and Sexto Sol. Hernandez dreamed of taking modern audiences on a trip back in time to the days of a singular sound that originated in the 1960s on the Westside of San Antonio. The ensemble is emblematic of the genre sometimes referred to as “That Westside Sound” or simply, South Texas Soul. Decked out in flashy Rat-Pack-esque flair, Eddie and The Valiants have cultivated an appreciation for the artistry and history of the ’50s & ‘60s- era bands. They pay tribute to the echoes of Sunny & The Sunliners, The Royal Jesters, and The Commands. The band’s live performances, one of which provided direct support to Durand Jones & The Indications, transmit an irresistible wave of retro cool and consistently garner considerable buzz.

- Kazem Abdullah conducts Barber and Mozart
April 14 to April 14

The Philharmonic will share Barber’s Adagio for Strings—arguably his best-known work—which was originally the slow movement from his String Quartet, Op. 11. Then, because both Barber and Mozart were known for their skill at composing for voice, soprano Vanessa Becerra joins Kazem Abdullah for Mozart’s concert aria, Bella mi fiamma, and for Barber’s wistful and nostalgic Knoxville Summer of 1915,which is set to a prose poem by James Agee. The concert closes with Kazem and the orchestra performing Mozart’s beloved Symphony No. 40.

- The Texas Cavaliers River Parade
April 24 to April 24
There’s nothing quite like the Texas Cavaliers River Parade. Festive music fills the air and vibrant floats pass by as thousands watch from the banks of the San Antonio River. This one-of-a-kind parade started in 1941 after a group of Texas Cavaliers witnessed boats and barges decorated with flowers in the “floating gardens” of Mexico City. This coincided with the San Antonio River bend restoration, and the Texas Cavaliers decided to bring this unique experience to our city. The first Texas Cavaliers River Parade included a number of boats for schools, local businesses, civic organizations and the army. Texas Cavaliers and the parade sponsors decorated every float with bright flowers and vibrant colors, and the tradition of the River Parade began. Eighty years later, the Texas Cavaliers still decorate the San Antonio River with the bold colors of Fiesta. The Texas Cavaliers River Parade has found its way into the hearts of over 250,000 spectators each year, and all money raised supports local children’s charities through the Texas Cavaliers Charitable Foundation. The River Parade comes to life 7-9PM on the first Monday of Fiesta each year in April. The Texas Cavaliers only have 18,000 reserved tickets available, so don’t miss your opportunity to be front and center for the most unique parade in the country. Tickets On Sale Now! Buy your tickets to the most anticipated family-friendly events of Fiesta!
