Over the years, the parade has grown into a major event, featuring pets of all shapes and sizes, many dressed in exciting imaginative costumes. Local businesses, schools, and residents participate with creative floats, highlighting the city’s cultural diversity. In the past, everything from dogs to snakes have won the best in show prize, leaving the spot open for any type of pet.
