Oh, yes. The 21st annual BARC Shelter Parade and Show in Williamsburg is coming up on Sunday (10/14). The big dog parade kicks off at Noon at Wythe and N. 1st Street in Williamsburg. The show in McCarren Park starts runs from 1PM-5PM. Here’s a bit from BARC:
We’ll march proudly down Bedford Avenue with music and floats to McCarren Park in support of BARC and shelter animals. Costumes encouraged for both dogs and people! As an extra incentive, this year we will be offering cash prizes for the best superhero costumes.
After the parade winds down in McCarren Park, come enjoy a day of food, music, and friendship at our annual Dog Show. You can enter your pup in a variety of catagories to win dog-friendly treats and prizes, or you can just hang out in the company of other BARC supporters and animal lovers.
And if you’re interested in adopting a shelter animal, BARC shelter dogs will march in th parade and be around the park to meet.
