HOUSTON (KTRK) -- Thousands of Houstonians will line the streets of downtown today for the 44th annual Fiestas Patrias Parade. Fiestas Patrias marks the anniversary of Mexico's independence from Spain.
The parade begins at 10am -- rain or shine -- on Texas at Hamilton, proceeds west on Texas, north on San Jacinto, east on Preston and ends around noon on Preston at Crawford, just outside Minute Maid Park.
Eyewitness News reporter Erik Barajas and his children are riding in the parade.
The parade route will feature folk dancing and festive Mexican music, culminating in the crowning of Miss Fiestas Patrias.
If you are there and take photos or video at the parade, send them to News@abc13.com or upload them at iWitness.abc13.com and we'll post them online!
