If you have never been to the San Antonio River Walk then you might want to plan a visit.

The San Antonio River Walk is a public park, open 365 days a year. It is a network of walkways along the banks of the San Antonio River, one story beneath approximately 5 miles of downtown San Antonio.
The River Walk winds and loops under bridges as two parallel sidewalks, lined with restaurants, shops, hotels and more.
I have never paddled the San Antonio River but I have walked the San Antonio River Walk and had a wonderful time.  This event sounds like fun time for both paddlers and spectators.
