El Paseo Del Río, or the San Antonio River Walk, was founded in 1969. El Paseo Del Río is a non-profit organization, and is the most popular tourist attraction in Texas. El Paseo Del Río is a very important part of Texas’s government because it brings in so much money. The way it brings in so much money is by producing special events and providing information that attracts visitors and local residents. Every April there is a ten-day festival at El Paseo Del Río. This festival serves to honor the memory of the heroes of the Alamo and the Battle of San Jacinto. Also, the festival is meant to celebrate San Antonio's rich and diverse cultures. This year’s will be the 115th.

El Paseo Del Río is host to many different shops and stores. There are way too many to mention individually. This is one of the reasons El Paseo Del Río is such a popular tourist attraction. For those who love to shop, it’s a great place to be. Also, there are monthly events year-round. These events are what make El Paseo Del Río such an exciting place, no matter when you go.
