A short drive from the Gulf of Mexico and an even shorter drive from San Antonio, New Braunfels, TX is a unique town in Texas that heavily celebrates its German heritage with building, customs, and traditions. However, that won’t stop this all American town from celebrating Independence Day with an annual parade full of floats, performers, and music. Participants who wish to be directly involved can submit applications, and those who only want to watch are advised to arrive early to secure a good place to watch from the sidewalk. The parade moves throughout downtown, making it easy for guests to the area to explore the many local businesses and restaurants after the parade.
