Be a part of Knoxville's "Mardi Growl Dog Parade" - a costume parade for dogs and their owners through downtown Knoxville.

The parade starts in the Old City (corner of Central and Summit) and ends at Market Square.

This event is presented by PetSafe Village and Invisible Fence Brand and produced by the City of Knoxville and Young-Williams Animal Center. Proceeds from the event will go to support animal adoption efforts of the Young-Williams Animal Center.

Registrants will receive a doggie goody bag and a royal court will be selected for the best dressed.

Grooming and vaccination stations are on site, as well as food vendors (including gourmet doggie treats).

Participants may purchase Mardi Growl Parade dog shirts or photos of their favorite pets in front of a Mardi Growl background.

Day of parade registration is $10.

As required by law, all dogs must be leashed and owners are required to clean up any dog waste.
