Some of the activities that the event will feature include a selfie booth to take photos in with your pup, retriever agility demonstrations, an interactive training course, and various vendors offering animal-related products.
The costume contest is completely free with parade registration, so parade participants are encouraged to dress their pup up in their best costume and let them walk the runway.
This year’s parade will integrate a doggy-themed 4K, but there is a short-cut route for pups who need to walk a shorter distance. SNIPSA will also be bringing some adoptable animals for anyone looking to add a new member to the family.
