In San Antonio, you can parade through the 2.6 miles of tree-lined streets in Alamo Heights with more than 800 of your four-legged friends, both of you dressed in colorful costumes, to raise money for charity.
The 21st Annual Fiesta Pooch Parade is a fur-friendly 4K walk that takes place during Fiesta San Antonio, a celebration of San Antonio’s rich and diverse cultures.
The parade begins at 9:15 a.m. on Saturday, April 27, 2019 at the Alamo Heights Pool House and showcases a Pooch Parade float with pooch dignitary King Anbarkio, a Canine Costume Contest, retriever agility demonstrations, interactive training course, and vendors offering various animal-related goodies.

All Fiesta Pooch Parade contributions are used to provide the financial support needed for Therapy Animals of San Antonio (TASA) team therapy visits, training, evaluation, and work, as well as community education programs. Registration is $30-35 online or on-site.
The historic boutique Crockett Hotel offers direct access to the Fiesta events. The Furry Friend Package warmly welcomes four-legged family members to the hotel with treats, water, and a souvenir Crockett bandana.
