Paws on Parade at Bryant Park

Get ready to bark in the park. On Saturday, September 13 from 12:00 PM to 4:30 PM, Bryant Park will host the third annual Paws on Parade, a full afternoon of fun for dogs and the people who love them. Held in partnership with the AKC Museum of the Dog, this free event transforms the park into a lively gathering spot for furry friends, pet lovers, and the entire neighborhood.

The event features live music, craft stations, food and drink vendors, and a variety of dog-friendly workshops. The highlight of the day is the parade itself, where pups from all over strut their stuff around the park, whether in costume, on leash, or just along for the fun.

Starting that day and continuing through the season, leashed dogs will also be allowed on the Bryant Park lawn, so you can relax and picnic with your pup after the parade. It’s one of the most dog-friendly days in Midtown, perfect for pet owners, families, or anyone who wants to spend a Saturday with some very good boys and girls.
