MADISON — The Madison Area Chamber of Commerce and Madison Downtown Development Commission have announced the return of the Rose City Dog Day & Parade, set for Saturday, November 1 (rain date: Sunday, November 2). The community event invites dog lovers from across the area to celebrate their furry companions with a day full of fun, creativity, and camaraderie.
The highlight of the day will be the dog costume parade, where pups can show off their best outfits and compete for prizes in several categories. Judges will select the top costumes, and families are encouraged to get creative with their entries.
Beyond the parade, attendees can explore a variety of vendors offering pet treats, products, and services, making it an ideal event for both pets and their owners.
Families can register their dogs to walk in the parade for a $20 fee per family, payable the day of the event at the registration table. Payments can be made by cash or check payable to Madison Main Street Foundation. Registration is available online at https://forms.gle/4M8N8DbnWm2Exakx9.
Vendor and sponsorship opportunities are also available at https://www.rosenet.org/…/Rose-City-Dog-Day–Parade.
A portion of event proceeds will benefit St. Hubert’s Animal Welfare Center, which supports animal care and adoption services throughout the region. Donations can also be made directly at https://www.sthuberts.org/donate.
The Rose City Dog Day & Parade promises to be a joyful celebration of Madison’s vibrant community—and its four-legged residents!
