San Antonio Goes Green for St. Patrick’s Day River Parade
Take a road trip to San Antonio to watch the annual St. Patrick’s Day River Parade, in partnership with Bud Light, on March 16. Festivities commence with dyeing the River Walk green. Irish floats will drift down the river, and are visible from rooms at the Omni La Mansion Del Rio and Mokara Hotel & Spa, right on the River Walk. The day will be packed with activities, including live entertainment, an Artisan show, food vendors, and more.
Omni La Mansion del Rio has been offering exceptional service on the Paseo Del River for over fifty years at the heart of the St. Patrick’s Day festival. This year, Four Brothers and Ostra, the hotel’s restaurants, are serving two signature Irish cocktails: a Slane Irish Mule and a Jameson Irish Mule.
At the heart of the city, the inviting River Walk District combines the natural beauty of the river with some of the city’s best dining, shopping and entertainment. Visitors can take a quick stroll to the Alamo, visit the Historic Market Square, or hop on a Riverboat Tour. Blending Spanish colonial architecture and European style, San Antonio Omni La Mansión del Rio features the romance of a grand hacienda.
Mokara Hotel & Spa is the ultimate wellness destination right on the world-famous River Walk. Book a rejuvenating massage or body treatment at the 17,000 square foot Mokara Spa. Then relax poolside on the roof deck, with views of the surrounding city. Finish your day at one of their three restaurants, including the romantic riverfront Ostra with its famed Oyster Bar.
