Beggin' Pet Parade February 27, 2011

Join thousands of dog-lovers and their four-legged friends for one of the largest pet parades in the world! Whether you and your furry friend dress up or not, parade with thousands of pets and Mardi Gras enthusiasts as they take over the streets of Soulard (corner of Menard St. and Allen Ave.) to celebrate the 18th annual Beggin’ Pet Parade on Sunday, Feb. 27th.

Registration is $10 with 100% of the proceeds benefiting the Open Door Animal Sanctuary and the No Unwanted Litters Campaign. The parade will also feature an attempt to break the Guinness World Record for “Loudest Group Bark,” a coronation ceremony for the best-dressed dogs and a bacon-eating contest.

Pre-register at www.begginpetparade.com and join us at 10 a.m. at the corner of Menard and Allen in Soulard on Feb. 27th. You can also register the day of the parade on the corner of Menard St. and Allen Ave. There’s no time like Beggin’ time!

Pet participants are subject to the approval of Mardi Gras, Inc. and the St. Louis Department of Animal Control based on appropriateness, temperament and health.
