- **Event Description**: So Long Fruit Cake, Hello King Cake! 

Join Galveston Island Humane Society for our 27th annual Krewe of Barkus &amp; Meoux parade on February 15th, at Noon! Stemming from a desire for locals and their pets to have a way to be involved in the Mardi Gras! Galveston festivities, the Galveston Island Humane Society created the Krewe of Barkus &amp; Meoux Parade in 1988, and this crowd-pleasing event has been going strong ever since! Proceeds from this walk will support our community programs including emergency care, spay/neuter assistance, and vaccination and microchip clinics.

Leading the parade each year is the “Elite Pet Owner” – a title awarded at the annual Paws Gala, which is held each September. This year’s winners are Georgia and Dolly, supported by their mom Lindsey Serrette.

Parade begins at 1:30 PM. The Parade will proceed down 20th Street to the Strand, travel West on the Strand to 25th Street, turn left on Mechanic, and travel East on Mechanic back to 20th Street.

**This is a free event open to the public.
