The Aqua Festival was founded in 1962 to promote Austin and the surrounding region as a destination and to boost the local economy during its slow season. This film documents one of the festival's parades, where floats from local organizations and surrounding counties pass on the Congress Avenue Bridge, usually ridden upon by a beauty queen and her court. Brief scenes of the Aqua Festival Rodeo are also included.
