There are places that have a historical aura to them. Then there are places that are the most picturesque and hence draw people towards them. And then there are places that have events which are the main attraction and the focal point of the tourists. San Antonio is one such city whose Michelob Ultra
Riverwalk Mud Festival is a famous event. Probably, the citizens of this town thought it would be a great way to celebrate when the river is being drained off. Thus, the festival came into existence. People, not just the locals land in hordes for this event held in the month of January. There is a mud walk parade, arts and crafts shows and other happenings. To everyone's delight, the entry is free for this annual fun episode. An event that draws a lot of attention is the election of the King and Queen of the Mud Festival. You could vote for the person who you think should be the winner of this carnival. But this is no ordinary vote; your vote is in the form of quarters. The money thus made in some such competitions goes for a charity organization. Basically people end up having a good time while contributing monetarily to a good cause. There are of course the local politicians, civic authorities and residents of San Antonia. But increasingly, this festival is becoming a must-do tourist activity. The music and dance at this event gets even the most morose person in the mood to have a blast. Whoever thought that an otherwise ordinary 'muddy' occurrence could be turned into a feast?
