Get the hot glue guns out and the costumes ready, the 2023 Pet Parade is June 24 at LoveOly SummerFest, presented by Providence Swedish. It’s a joint event powered by the Hands On Children’s Museum.
Dress up the family, accessorize your furry, feathered, or scaly friends, and join the celebration! Meet at 11 a.m. at 5th Ave. and Washington St. to parade downtown Olympia and around Sylvester Park.
Door prizes will be awarded in the following categories: big dogs, little dogs, pets, impersonations, and wheels. All participants will receive a 2-for-1 pass to the Hands On Children’s Museum. Register online to save time and to be included in the drawings for the door prizes. You can also register on-site at the event stage.
Rules: The parade is open to children 16 and younger. No motorized or battery-operated vehicles are allowed. Small-wheeled vehicles like wagons, trikes, strollers for transporting young children or pets, and mobility aides (including motorized and battery-powered wheelchairs, etc.) are welcome. The parade includes walking on sidewalks, so there are no bikes, scooters, or skateboards. Animals must be under control at all times. Entries are limited to household pets. They must be comfortable around other animals, people, and crowds. They must also follow the parade route that includes sidewalks for safety. Owners are responsible for picking up after their pets.
