Costumed Dog Parade

Join us at the St. Pete Pier for the Costumed Dog Parade, a delightful event where creativity and canine charm take center stage. Dress your furry friend in their most imaginative costume and compete for exciting prizes in categories like Best Human & Pet Duo, Most Original, and People’s Choice. Registered participants will receive a complimentary St. Pete Pier bandana, adding a special touch to your pup's ensemble. Even if you're not bringing a dog, come and enjoy the spectacle as these costumed canines strut their stuff along the picturesque pier.

In addition to the parade, we're hosting a pet food drive to support the Friends of Strays Animal Shelter. Guests are encouraged to bring donations of dog or cat food to contribute to this worthy cause. A portion of the event's proceeds will also benefit Friends of Strays, St. Petersburg’s oldest no-kill animal shelter. It's a fantastic opportunity to celebrate our four-legged friends while making a positive impact in the community.
