Dress your four-legged friend as your favorite animated character and head to Historic Downtown McKinney for an afternoon of Mardi Gras fun. The event is patterned after the legendary Mystic Krewe of Barkus in New Orleans, which was established to help abused and abandoned canines. Historic Downtown McKinney calls in all dogs and dog lovers for a dog parade, costume contest, canine training, exercise demonstrations and much more.
Owners and their canine companions dress according to the theme each year, and the entire family gets involved in the act. Barkus fun isn’t limited to dogs and their owners. Children may enter “Animated” floats and join in the parade. The route begins at Mitchell Park at the corner of Church St. and Louisiana St., proceeding east on Louisiana then north on Tennessee and finally west on Virginia ending back at Mitchell Park.
For more event information please call the McKinney Main Street Office at 972-547-2660
