This free and inclusive celebration of Bondi’s famous canine culture will takeover the Bondi Pavilion courtyard on Saturday 11 July. With your hilarious host, Bondi Local and dog lover Pat Doherty ready to lead the parade!

Don’t have a pup of your own? Borrow someone else’s! This fun is for everyone.

What to expect at Paw Parade!
We’ve got a diverse range of exciting activities for you and your fur family. It’s a real treat for everyone!

For the Main Event – our fabulous MC will host a howl-arious, tail-wagging, rarely ever predictable contest for any pups ready to show what they got. We have six exciting categories that your beloved pup can be entered into:

  • Take me to the Toy Store (For all our teeny-tiny-toy breeds)
  • Size Matters (For all our big buddies)
  • Best Dressed (Are we talking about the dog or the human or both? You decide.)
  • Party Tricks (You’ve got 90 seconds to show us what you’ve got.)
  • Not To Big, Not Too Small, Just Right (Medium-sized mutts to the front.)
  • Best Personality (For the dog that shines in the right ways. Don’t overthink it.)

Registrations are in person, and will be open from 9:00am in Bondi Pavilion Courtyard on Saturday 11 July.
