Haute Dog Easter Parade in Belmont Shores
The Easter Parade has long been a holiday tradition in film and on the east coast, but seldom do we see one in California. But this year, Belmont Shores is orchestrating a unique Easter Parade that’s strictly for the dogs.
On April 8, Easter Sunday, the Haute Dog organization will be hosting an Easter Parade & Pet Adoption Fair along the streets of Belmont Shores. Approximately 500 dogs, all attired in their Easter bonnets, will take to the sidewalks of 2nd Street for a 12-block parade route spanning the areas between Roycroft and Granada avenues. The parade is expected to last one hour.
Parking in the vicinity is free (the meters don’t run on Sunday), and the event is open to public participation. The entry fee is $10 per dog when registered online prior to the event date. The registration form can be located at this link.
Registration on the day of the event is $20 at the Haute Dog tent at the corner of Livingston Dr. and St. Joseph’s Ave., from 11:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.
The event will include a judged costume contest, prizes and awards, and most importantly a pet adoption fair. Instead of candy and eggs this year, bring home a puppy that desperate needs the love of a good family.
