Mardi Gras Pet Parade - Feb. 15, 2026

Join us for the inaugural Mardi Gras Pet Parade!  Pets and their people will gather behind US Bank (550 Bailey Rd, Crystal City) at noon before parading down Main Street at 12:30pm. After the parade, peruse the vendors that will be located behind Main Street and take in the displays by Dogs For Our Brave (demos at their booth) and the Jefferson County K-9 Unit.

Vendors, since this is the first year, and we have no idea what to expect, we are not charging for spaces.  Spaces will be 10x10, all outside, and no power is available.  You must submit your name and what you will be selling in your booth by Wednesday, Feb. 11, via email to Barb.Lowry@FestusMO.gov.  More specific details will be shared in a responding email.  We appreciate pet-centered vendors, but all are welcome!  

No food trucks, so please support Main Street eateries.  

The Pet Parade is sponsored by Festus Tourism.
