SAN ANTONIO -- The Avenida Guadalupe Association (http://www.avenidaguadalupe.org/) (Avenida) only recently announced additions to programming in this years’ Diez y Seis de Septiembre Parade. The annual celebration of Mexico’s Independence will now feature a special viewing of the long awaited Mayweather v. Canelo (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLEk6Odv-fQ) boxing match, live via PPV.
For the past 34 years the Avenida has hosted the Diez y Seis de Septiembre Parade, a day long festival complete with a parade, drill team competitions, food vendors and live performances.
In a press conference on August 29th, city officials, media and Avenida volunteers gathered with Avenida president Oscar Ramirez to announce Univision Deportes sports anchor Antonietta Collins as the 2013 “celebrity” Parade Grand Marshall.
The parade normally boasts community floats and city officials, and it set to a soundtrack of classic mariachis and popular local musicians. Every year more than 10,000 attendees gather on Guadalupe Avenue to experience and remember traditional Mexican culture.
Any and all San Antonio residents and visitors are welcome to join in the family fun of the Diez y Seis Parade on September 14th, 2013, from 9am until 7pm.
