10th Annual Big Dog Parade and Canine Festival
June 5, 2004, 9:30AM
GDA will be the Grand Marshal of the parade and benefit from the funds raised. Last year over 2,700 dogs, 3,500 participants and 15,000 spectators joined together to raise funds for the Big Dog Foundation. Groups, floats and marching bands make the parade a true spectacle and the streets from downtown Santa Barbara to Sterns Wharf are filled with happy smiles and lots of laughter. Following the parade the Canine Festival will take place near Sterns Wharf until 1PM. For more details contact Joie Shepherd at (805) 963-8727 x1328.
