January Festivals in San Antonio Martin Luther King, Jr. March and Rally Known for: One of the largest marches
in the country honoring civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King,
Jr., the civil rights leader. Events: free music concerts by performers
such as the Youth Orchestra of San Antonio. Location: Citywide River Walk Mud Festival Known for: three-days of mudslinging
Events: The fun begins with the Mud
Pie Ball. The peak of the fun is the election of the Mud King and
Mud Queen to preside over the festivities. The King and Queen rise
to their positions by collecting the most nickels, money to be used
by the Paseo del Rio Association to hold admission-free events along
the River Walk throughout the year. The King and Queen can obtain
nickels any way they choose, and don't think that mud wrestling
is out of the question for these campaigners. When the nickels are
tallied, the winners enter the "Brown House on Pig Pen-sylvania
Avenue" and wear a sand colored royal robe. Admission: free Location: River Walk River Walk Arts & Crafts Show Known for: showcasing the artists of
the region Events: The shady walkways of the River
Walk are lined with easels and shelving for the popular event; watercolors,
oils, sculpture, and crafts compete with the beauty of the Paseo
del Rio for this twice-annual event. Admission: free Location: River Walk Back to San Antonio Festivals |
