The titular character from Alamo City Arts' upcoming December production of The Nutcracker will preside over the festivities as this year's Grand Marshal.

Limited free seating is available between Pecan Street and Richmond Avenue along North St. Mary's Street, and paid tickets are available exclusively on the San Antonio River Walk website.
