three major parade routes!

In January 2012 the San Antonio City Council approved
an amendment to its non-smoking ordinance.  Smoking will be prohibited
within the public right of way and in any seats within the public
right of way or city property along the three major Fiesta parade routes.
The goal is to create a cleaner, healthier environment for the hundreds of thousands
of men, women and children who come to enjoy these wonderful Fiesta events.
