pet parade

Furry friends procession

A pet parade is a community event where people walk their pets—typically dogs, but also cats, rabbits, or more exotic animals—along a route for spectators to admire.

Often part of local festivals or holiday celebrations, pet parades may include costumes, prizes for categories like "best dressed" or "most unusual pet," and a generally lighthearted atmosphere: The Fourth of July pet parade drew dozens of costumed dogs.
