So dust off your boots\, grab your cowboy hat and bring your canine companions for a day of fun and excitement. Saddle up and join us on Saturday\, February 24\, 2024! This is going to be one fun-filled day that y’all won’t want to miss. \nThe parade isn’t just for fun. It’s also for a good cause.  We’re partnering with local animal rescues to raise awareness and funds for animals in need. Not only will you have a great time\, you’ll also be making a difference for injured animals and those looking for their forever homes. \nYou and your four-legged friends are sure to have a rooting’ tootin’ good time. Mark your calendars and get ready to join us for a paw-some day! \nThe festivities will start at 11:00 am at Riverfront Park with live entertainment\, local food vendors and a variety of arts and craft vendors to enjoy while strolling through the park. The parade of decorated golf carts\, boats\, floats\, and walkers – both the four-legged and two-legged kind – begins at 1:00 pm.

Registration is $5 for walkers\, $25 for golf carts\, and $50 for floats. Dogs\, of course\, are free. \nThe King and Queen of Apalachicola’s Mardi Gras parade are always shelter animals who are ready for a forever home. As always\, they will have a place of honor in the parade. \nIn the tradition of the Mystic Krewe of Salty Barkers\, profits from the parade will be donated to help care for the animals of the Forgotten Coast of Florida. Beneficiaries have included Franklin County Humane Society\, the Florida Wild Mammal Association and the Apalachicola Dog Park. We greatly appreciate the support of the local businesses and families who sponsor the Krewe in its tradition of charity and service to the animals. \nFor additional information contact us at 850-624-8085 or apalachdogs@gmail.com or check us out on our website at https://saltybarkers.org/ or our Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/MardiGrasBarkusParade.
