Don't miss this uniquely BEND tradition - the 4th of July Pet Parade In partnership with the City of Bend, the July 4th Pet Parade is a community tradition since 1924  The community shows up with every kind of pet imaginable and parades through downtown Bend!  Parade in costume with your pet or stuffed animal on pulled wagons, bikes or trikes or watch all the action on the parade route. No registration is necessary... Show up in Harmon Park by 8:30am.  Parade starts at 9:30am. Staging is set for Harmon Park and the route will head north on Harmon to Newport Ave., east on Newport to Wall St. and down Wall to turn and finish at Drake Park. It’s the same parade route used for the Christmas Parade, Veterans Parade and others.
