Brief Description

Knoxville's second annual "Mardi Growl Parade" - a costume parade for dogs and their owners through downtown Knoxville. The parade starts at 11 a.m. on Saturday, Feb. 21 in the Old City and ends at Market Square. It is designed to raise awareness of the city's new downtown dog park and proceeds from the event will go to support animal adoption efforts of the Young-Williams Animal Center.

Additional Information

As required by law, all dogs must be leashed and updated on vaccinations. Owners are required to clean up any dog waste. Registrants will receive a doggie goody bag and a royal court will be selected for the best dressed. Grooming and vaccination stations will be on site, as well as food vendors (including gourmet dog treats). Participants may purchase Mardi Growl Parade dog shirts or photos of their favorite pets in front of a Mardi Growl background.
