Frequently asked questions
Yes! The event is free and open to the public—but registration is required to walk in the parade.
Nope! While we love a good pup look, outfits are totally optional. Whether your dog comes dressed to impress or keeps it casual, they’re welcome to walk in the parade and enjoy the fun!
The parade begins at Church Park (191 Beale St, Memphis, TN 38103) and makes its way down Beale Street, ending at Handy Park (200 Beale St, Memphis, TN 38103). That’s where the after-party, vendors, and Best Dressed Pup Contest will take place! ??
All breeds, sizes, and personalities are welcome—as long as your dog is friendly and safe to be around people and other pups.
Yes! All dogs must remain leashed at all times during the event for safety. We recommend non-retractable leashes for better control in crowds.
