Announcing the 2025 Jericho Pet Parade on Saturday, July 26th, at 10am on the Town Green! If you are planning to bring a pet to the parade, please pre-register by the end of Thursday, July 24th.*
We are excited to announce that we are slightly revamping the Pet Parade this year. We will have the same wonderful MC, Pete Davis, and we will follow the same Upper Jericho Center Circle route. In the interest of having as much fun as possible and keeping the post-parade ceremonies on schedule, we will no longer have a judging panel. Instead, we will provide small prizes to all participants who pre-register by Thursday, July 24th, and we will raffle off three larger prizes immediately following the parade.
Though we don't have prizes for particular costume categories this year, we do have a few suggestions to help guide your costume design! If you are looking for an idea, consider tailoring your costume around the following categories:
Color Our World (this year's Summer Reading Theme - let's see the most colorful costume you can imagine)
Literary Characters & References (dazzle us with a costume straight out of the pages of your favorite book)
Look-Alikes (dress up in matching costumes to showcase all the similarities between you and your pet)
Library Lovers (show us what you love best about libraries)
"This Land Is Our Land" (a costume category inspired by the Woody Guthrie song This Land Is Your Land - celebrate the things you love about our community, state, and country)
Have an idea that doesn't fit into these categories? We'd love to see it! All participants in the procession should arrive at the Town Green on Jericho Center Circle by 9:45am, as the parade will begin at 10am.

*Pre-registration helps us know how many participants to expect, makes it easier for us to get important information to our MC, and ensures a timely start to the parade. It also gives us time to organize prizes for our paraders.
