The theme of this year’s Texas Cavaliers River Parade is “Fantastic Voyages,” and on Thursday, the Fiesta-tied organization led media on a journey through the glitzy barges that will make their debut at the annual event.

The “Fantastic Voyages” theme is woven into each float by New Orleans-based design firm Kern Studios, famous for creating those used in Mardi Gras parades. During this Monday's parade, the vessels will carry members of community groups and children’s charities along with celebrities and local officials down the San Antonio River. The event starts at 7 p.m.

That’s right, San Antonio, a"new smoke canon” is part of the show. The contraption features a large plastic barrel modified to propel smoke rings from a fog machine. Many of the barges feature handcrafted animal and vehicle sculptures as well as thousands of paper flowers.The Cavaliers and its charitable foundation organize the parade as a fundraiser for programs benefitting local children.

“As of [Thursday], we have about 1,500 tickets left, and ticket sales are going very, very well,” Seay added. “I've been a member of the Texas Cavaliers for 13 years, and being parade marshal, you see a whole new side of things … there’s a lot more responsibility. But the good thing about our organization is we have a little over 600 members, and we have hundreds of people that come down and put in thousands of man hours of volunteer time to make [the parade] happen.
