Old Fashioned July 4th Celebration & Pet Parade
7/4/2009 10:00 AM (PST)  - 6 hours


Location: Downtown and Drake Park

If you are looking for a special way to celebrate July 4th, start the day with Bend's most historical event, the Pet Parade, where children of all ages bring their special pet (we've seen dogs - large & small, llamas, horses, lizards, goats, and lots of stuffed animals) to parade through downtown Bend.  It's one of the most unique parades you'll ever see! Decorating and lineup starts at 9:30am and the parade begins at 10am. No registration necessary. Line up is on Wall Street next to the School Administration building. No rabbits or cats please. Kids will receive a keepsake and popsicle.

Then join the rest of the community for our traditional event in Drake Park. The West Coast Bank July 4th Festival goes from 11am - 4pm. You'll find craft and food booths, old fashioned games like three legged races, watermelon eating and water balloon contests as well as wonderful live entertainment. COPA will have a Kid's & Family fun area with games and hay rides.
