As San Antonio prepares for 11 days of nonstop festival fun with hundreds of events taking place throughout the city, Lyft San Antonio, Bud Light, and Silver Eagle Distributors are offering $25,000 in Sober Rides. The Sober Rides partnership encourages festival goers to Viva! responsibly.

“All SAPD officers have received the Sober Rides promo code should we encounter revelers that need alternative transportation to get home. We are grateful to Bud Light, Silver Eagle Distributors, and Lyft for helping us to make this a responsible festival season,” said Douglas Green, Spokesman for the San Antonio Police Department.

Lyft passengers can use the special promo code BUDLIGHTDD18 to receive two $5 increments of Lyft ride credit to use toward two rides to or from festival events April 19-29. Enter the code in the promo section and request a ride to get to or from the party. And the first 3,000 passengers to take a Lyft ride during the designated Sober Ride campaign will receive Lyft San Antonio’s first ever Fiesta medal!

“Like all San Antonians, all of us at Bud Light and Silver Eagle Distributors are thrilled to be a part of this celebratory time in our community,” said John L. Nau, Chairman and CEO of Silver Eagle Distributors. “With great fun comes great responsibility, and we are proud to partner with Lyft again this year to encourage all festival-goers to plan ahead with a safe ride home.”
