This issue of RIO Magazine takes you through three fabulous months of summer. Beginning with the Fourth of July—the pinnacle of summertime celebrations, followed by August with brilliant ways to stay cool and entertained along the River Walk, and finally September, which for most folks marks the end of summer, but not here in San Antonio. We keep the party going! Along the more than 15 miles of sidewalks lining the beautiful San Antonio River, you will find all the quintessential summer activities to make this your most wonderful yet.

July kicks off with Stars, Stripes & Lights, where patriotic décor lines the banks of the River Walk in a spectacular display and a befitting honor for the men and women who serve our country.
