This weekend kicks off many celebrations for diez y seis de Septiembre, Mexico's independence from Spain. In San Antonio, we celebrate it with food, fun, community and boxing! For 32 years the Avenida Guadalupe Assoication (Avenida) has hosted the 16 de Septiembre Festivities, a day long festival complete with a parade, drill team competitions, food vendors and live performances. 
This year's festivities will include a screening of THE ONE – Super Welter Weight Worldwide Boxing Championship between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Saul “Canelo” Alvarez. Join the family fun-filled day at Plaza Guadalupe, 1327 Guadalupe Street, San Antonio, TX 78227.

This year's Grand Marshall is Emmy Award-winning journalist Lindsay Casinelli, Univsion Deportes Network Anchor.
The Parade route will be along Guadalupe street. There is limited free seating! You are invited to also bring your own chairs.
12:00 pm – 5:00 pm ~ Festival
FREE ADMISSION. There will be kids' activities and playground, food vendors, and various exhibitors.
