Bud Light River Walk Mud Festival
January 7-16, 2011
This event is held in January to celebrate the draining of the San Antonio River for maintenance by the San Antonio Downtown Operations Department. This year, the City of San Antonio has scheduled the draining of the River from January 3-11. Civic & Media personalities vie for the title of River Walk Queen & King by competing to see who can raise the most money for the Association. The King & Queen act as River Walk ambassadors throughout the year, supporting the mission of the Paseo del Rio Association to promote, protect and preserve the San Antonio River Walk. The celebration features: Mud Pie Ball, Mud Coronation, Mud Parade, and an Arts & Crafts Show. All festival events are free to the public.
