Battle of Flowers parade announce big change

The Battle of Flowers organizers have just released a statement that the parade will begin a little earlier this year. The organization announced on January 31st that the Vanguard will kick off festivities at 9:05am on April 27th beginning on Grayson and Broadway.

Also, there will be a new section of the parade called "Simplemente San Antonio" at 9:30am featuring San Antonio's first responders of police and fire departments.

Previous start times took place near midday at 11:30am with the official parade rolling in at 12:20pm where the sun was directly shining on everyone. Some tickets still say that the parade starts at 10am.

Would you wake up a bit earlier to see the day parade?
