Show off your pet in the Pet Parade!

The Cotton District Arts Festival Pet Parade gives pet owners a chance to show off their pets.  Pets of all sizes can strut their stuff through the streets of the Cotton District in the official CDAF Pet Parade, held on the morning of the festival.  Feel free to enter your pets, dress them up, and show them off for all to see. The parade ends at the festival's Local Stage, where prizes are awarded!

​We are looking forward to seeing some exciting "dress up" costumes on all of our sweet pets of all kinds.
Don't be shy, go all out! Your Pet is a 'One of a Kind'!
