CARL’s 20th Annual Pooch Parade

20 YEARS OF SAVING LIVES

Online registration is now closed, but you can still march in the parade! “At the door” registration starts at 9:30am on Sunday. See you there!

Rain or Shine, the Pooch Parade is Sunday, May 7th from 10-3!

The Pooch Parade is Ventura’s biggest dog-themed event of the year, and we’ve been at it for 20 years! For two decades, Ventura County has come out to walk, eat, drink, shop, and support homeless dogs while they’re at it.

Register to march in the parade today, and you’ll receive an exclusive t-shirt, a FREE drink ticket and a $5 coupon for the Silent Auction!

We think the Pooch Parade was already one of the most fun events in Ventura County. And, to commemorate our 20th anniversary, we’ve gone all out to make this the best Pooch Parade ever!

As always, admission is free! A spot in the parade itself is just $45, all of which goes to support rescue dogs in Ventura County. Or just show up and have a great time!

This year’s theme is Bark on the Beach, because it’s all about fun! Come visit to take in the sights, have fun, and enjoy the amazing event we’ve put together. Just by coming, you’ll support homeless dogs in need.
