The dogs in drag are getting glam to celebrate their sweet 16!  Jo’s Coffee has announced its 16th annual Pet Parade and costume contest, Austin’s much beloved celebration of family, festivities and favorite four-legged friends, which will be held on Saturday, April 4.  The parade will benefit Austin Pets Alive and pay tribute to animal lover Lyndon Lambert.

• What: Bring your pet in costume – the crazier the better!  We will parade down South Congress with a marching band.  The judging will begin promptly after the parade in the Jo’s lot and top awards for the best-dressed pets include a night at the Hotel San Jose, Jo’s Coffee gift cards, trophies, and more!
• How: Pets can be pre-registered through Friday, April 3 at the registration link here.  The registration fee is $10.  The costume contest is limited to 30 participants, so hurry up and register!
• What Else: There will be live music, an Easter bunny, a bouncy house, cotton candy, an Austin Pets Alive! dog adoption center and info booth, local pet-friendly vendors, and concessions available from Jo’s.  Live music will be from the Andrew Nafziger Trio and the parade will be led by the Dead Music Capital Band.  No pets are required to attend the parade – spectators always welcome!
