Parade Rules:
Tips:
- Floats are welcome and encouraged. Please keep in mind that no motorized floats are allowed. Floats can be created using wagons, carts, strollers, anything with wheels that does not have a motor. No bicycles or rollerblades as these can scare the animals.
- Get creative with your costumes, just keep your pet's safety in mind!
- Please bring beads to throw to the parade onlookers. Beads will also be available to purchase at the parade for $10 per 3 dozen beads. Mardi Gras beads will be the only allowed throws in the parade. ABSOLUTELY NO candy, trinkets, dog treats, etc. This is a safety hazard to the dogs attending the parade. Parade participants last year said that they ran out of beads during the parade so be sure to have plenty of beads. You will probably need at least 4 dozen or more beads.
