We want to thank everyone who participated in the 12th Annual Big Dog Parade and Canine Festival. It was a beautiful and fun-filled day for participants, spectators and dogs! Your support and generosity over the last 12 years has helped the Big Dog Foundation donate millions of dollars for charities helping Dogs, Children, and Dogs that Help People!

The Big Dog Parade and Canine Festival salutes our celebrity Grand Marshal, Jason Biggs, along with Grand Marshal the Lili Claire Foundation.

The Big Dog Foundation would like to acknowledge the extremely generous support of its sponsors including our presenting sponsors Big Dog Sportswear, Ralph’s, UPS, Wells Fargo, The Walking Company and Hollywood Dog. Equally important were the many vendors that supported the Foundation at the Canine Festival.
