Bend Pet Parade Returns July 4th

After a two-year hiatus, the beloved July 4th pet parade is set to return in 2022. The Bend Park and Recreation District announced its plan to resume the pet parade, which is an Oregon Heritage Event dating back to 1932. "The pet parade is enjoyed by thousands of participants and spectators and we aim to provide a family-friendly, safe, easy-to-join parade to begin the holiday," said Matt Mercer, recreation services director. "We enjoy the opportunity to be part of family traditions each Independence Day." As in the past, the parade will be open to any and all who wish to participate in the parade or start the holiday as spectators. The size of the event and changes downtown are factors being considered in modifications to the route used in past years. Route and other details will be confirmed in the coming months. BPRD will focus on the parade and forego the Old-Fashioned Festival for 2022. Drake Park will be available on July 4th for casual park use for picnics
