Scene from the Texas Cavaliers River Parade on the San Antonio River, which winds through the River Walk beneath the streets of San Antonio, Texas. The water-borne parade is one event in month-long Fiesta San Antonio festival. Every year, the floating parade features more than 45 decorated floats. Founded in 1926 by John B. Carrington, the Texas Cavaliers consist of more than 500 business, civic and community leaders who "promote and preserve the bravery and independence for which the heroes of the Alamo died." Developed initially as a social group, the Texas Cavaliers’ original 19 members also promoted horsemanship in a day when automobiles were becoming abundant. Over time, what started as a social club developed into a charitable organization. In 1989, the Texas Cavaliers developed the Texas Cavaliers Charitable Foundation to benefit and support local children.
