General Guidelines:

  • Registration is from 10:00 to 10:30 AM: Please come to the grass area in front of the new Whole Foods/AMC theatre in Sunnyvale Downtown. Here is the link to the Google Maps instructions on how to get to the Staging Area. Registration closes at 10:30 AM so please make sure to be there on time!

  • Costume Contest Participants: You MUST be at the registration booth by 10:00 AM sharp so that you have enough time to get judged for the contest. Judging will occur from 10:30 to 11:00 AM


  • Talent Showcase: Immediately following the pet parade (around 12:00 AM), we will be meeting at Plaza del Sol (the concrete stage where the parade ends) for the showcase. We will section off an area so that you and your pet have enough space to perform.
