2025 VIP Recap
In 2025, Centro San Antonio introduced a sold-out VIP experience atop the iconic Majestic Theatre marquee, offering guests a one-of-a-kind vantage point to take in the parade. This unique location, rarely open to the public, provided an unforgettable view of the festivities. Looking ahead to 2026, we’re excited to expand and offer even more exclusive opportunities. Thank you to everyone who joined us, we can’t wait to see you next year!
Each year, Stars & Stripes on Houston Street proudly honors the extraordinary bravery of our nation’s Medal of Honor recipients. Throughout Houston Street, more than 70 commemorative pole banners, an initiative led by Centro, pays tribute to both living and fallen recipients, celebrating their unmatched valor, patriotism, and sacrifice.
