And what parade would be complete without costumes? Owners are encouraged to dress up pets in creative costumes. There will, of course, be a contest for the best dressed dogs or cats and, for the wee ones, the best dressed little pets.

Palos' parade is more than just a fun time. It's also the opportunity to help out the community. Attendees are asked to bring dog and cat food for local shelters. Organizers also will be selling t-shirts and raffles gifts with the profits going to four nonprofits.
