Mardi Gras 4Paws

Event Info

Frisco does Mardi Gras with a twist by putting on a costumed canine parade and a street party to benefit Hope For Animals – Clear Creek Rescue. Whether you have a dog or not, this is the place to be to get your fill of canine cuteness and general good fun!

Mardi Gras 4Paws, inspired by the Krewe of Barkus Parade in New Orleans, comes to Frisco on Saturday, February 10, 2024 with its own version of Mardi Gras for our four-legged friends! Hosted by the Town of Frisco and Hope For Animals – Clear Creek Rescue – this event is a costumed parade for dogs and their families.

All proceeds benefit Hope For Animals – Clear Creek Rescue.
