It’s time to get your pets ready to show off their most patriotic clothing at the Pet Parade and Animal Talent Show on July 4.
The event, hosted by The American Visionary Art Museum, will take place at the museum’s Whirligig Plaza from 9 to 10:30 a.m. Registration is at 8:30 a.m.
The Pet Parade honors Ellis Rosen, an animal lover and a supporter of the art museum. The parade is followed by the talent show, and trophies will be awarded for both events.
Categories include Most Patriotic, Star-Spangled, Best Visionary Pet Hair-do, Best Pet Haute Couture and many more. The grand prize — Most Visionary Pet 2024 — is awarded to the pet that embodies the spirit of a true patriotic visionary.
People who plan on attending are advised to check www.avam.org for any cancellations or event changes in the case of extreme weather or high heat and humidity.
