Well-behaved leashed pets - equine, farm and domestic – all are welcome!! The parade theme this year is “JINGLE ON THE BAY.” Decorate your pets ( and yourself too ! ) in Jingling, Nautical, and or Holiday theme. Bring your SMILES, CHEER, and WAVING ARMS to the crowd!!
Be Creative! The crowd loves us! You may decorate wagons, carts, strollers, or golf carts. You can pull, stroll, or ride! Don’t forget to decorate your items and your pets!! Rescue and Animal groups may identify with banners, signs or tshirts.
