San Antonio Fiesta: Safety Upgrades & Rules

San Antonio's Fiesta is right around the corner, and local cops are rolling out some solid

safety upgrades to keep the party vibe strong without the risks.

Police Captain Robert Var are laid out clear.

Their top priority is making sure everyone stays safe while having a blast at the events.

They're setting up four main entrances for the crowds, one at Commerce and South Santa

Rosa, another on Houston Street and two on De La Rosa Street.

To tackle worries about vehicle threats, expect concrete barriers in key spots, plus metal

detectors at every single entrance to screen folks coming in.

This comes as B.S. to draw massive turnouts every year, and officials won zero disruptions

from bad actors.

Var stressed, it's all about letting people enjoy the music, food, and parades without

second-guessing their safety.

On the rule side, bags can exceed 12x6.

By 12 inches, diver bags get a pass, and clear ones are encouraged, but not mandatory.

No outside food or drinks, no smoking or vaping, steer clear of illegal stuff, fire arms

are a hard no, and backpacks are out unless they're four.

With these measures locked in, Fiesta should flow smooth for all the families and fans

hitting the streets this year.
