Budding arts and crafts enthusiasts can showcase their skills at the Memorial Day and 4th of July Shows, while gourmet-food enthusiasts can treat their taste buds to a culinary extravaganza at the DOS EQUIS Pachanga Del Rio. If you happen to stop by San Antonio at Thanksgiving, visit the River Walk for a spectacular display of 122,000 twinkling lights, which welcome one of the most flamboyant parades in Texas.

On balmy summer days, cruise down the picturesque river on a 35-minute long boat ride, which leads you through the history of San Antonio with a captivating narrative. For a scintillating end to a long day of activity, reserve yourself a dinner ride, taking your pick from an extensive selection of cuisines and ambiences.
