Our pups will be joining Old Mandeville Business Association for their annual Krewe du Pooch Parade happening along the beautiful Mandeville Lakefront on Saturday March 5th.
More info on the event: Krewe Du Pooch, presented by OnPath Federal Credit Union, will wrap up the Mardi Gras season in Old Mandeville with a walking parade and costume contest on March 5th at 12 PM!
This year’s theme is “A Fairy Tail by Krewe Du Pooch.” Parade participants – dogs and their owners – are encouraged to dress according to their favorite classic fairy tale or Disney movie!
Registration is $35 per participating dog, which allows for up to five handlers. Costume contest participation is automatically included in the parade registration, as contestants will be judged from a viewing stand on the parade route.
Immediately after the parade and costume contest, the fun will continue on the Lakefront with a free public concert featuring Four Unplugged, pet adoptions with local rescue groups, food and drinks, and fun activities for the whole family!
Not only is Krewe Du Pooch a family-friendly event that supports the local business community, but it is also a touchstone for the Northshore’s animal rescue groups. Dozens of nonprofits, rescue organizations and vendors will exhibit at the event, helping to raise awareness and critical funding for the plight of these animals. Profits from Krewe Du Pooch will be distributed among local and regional animal welfare organizations.
