SAN ANTONIO -- Nearly 24 hours after celebrating the Thanksgiving holiday, many people headed to the San Antonio River for a Christmas celebration.

Colorful floats, music and lights filled the river walk for the Ford Holiday River Parade. The 2.5 mile route was crowded with visitors as many came out to see the show. This year's theme was Christmas at the Movies and each float depicted a holiday classic.

"It is a really good atmosphere, it’s like joyful and I'm loving it,” Isaiah Trimm, parade attendee.

While there is no word on next year's theme, organizers say they look forward to pulling off another holiday classic.
