Building A Purpose

Old South San Main Street was alive this weekend! 🎈 It’s more than just a parade; it’s a Old South San tradition.

We started at St. Joseph’s South San and ended at Dwight MiddleSchool, but the real finish line was seeing our local students get awarded the BE scholarships.

​Keeping the culture alive and the future bright. Love my neighborhood! Love my South San ! 💙🙌 Let’s Start Building!

If you interested in helping or entering the parade next year please comment below, DM us, or call 210-997-7898.

The Old South San Parade is just around the corner on April 18th, and we need YOU to help make the magic happen!

​This parade is a heartbeat of our community, and it takes a village to keep those floats moving, the crowds safe, and the energy high. Whether you’re looking to give back, need service hours, or just want the best seat in the house, we’d love to have you on our team.

Nope… not an April Fools’ joke 🎊

We’re really getting out there and building this parade together.

Grab your walking shoes as we spread the chisme about the annual Old South San Parade throughout the neighborhood! 👟💬
(Yes… the good kind of chisme, the kind that brings people together 😄)

📅 When: Wednesday, April 1st @ 6PM
🎨 Where: The REC - 2612 W Southcross Blvd, SATX 78211

We’ll be connecting with neighbors, sharing the excitement, and making sure everyone knows what’s coming. Because the best way to build something special… is together.

Can’t join us but still want to spread the chisme?
Tell your friends, your family… even your HEB cashier 🛒😂

Don’t worry, we’ve got two more community meetings coming up, so there’s still time to jump in.

Let’s get the word out and make this one to remember 🎉
