Dog lovers, unite and mark your calendars for the "Pup Parade" at Brackett Park set for Thursday, June 5 from 5:30 pm to 7:30 pm. According to the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board's announcement, the festive event promises to get tails wagging with a line-up starting at 6:00 pm, near the picnic tables.
Post-parade activities are slated to amuse both humans and their furry companions, including pet-related vendors and family-friendly entertainment. Don't forget to stick around to catch "Mustafa: The Lion King" at dusk, allowing visitors to unwind in a movie-in-the-park atmosphere. The park is pulling out all the stops with pet-centric stands featuring the City of Minneapolis, Pet Haven, and a handful more. If face painting, bounce houses, and snappable moments with pets sound like your alley, Brackett Park seems to firmly believe this will be your kind of well-spent Thursday.
For those looking to contribute beyond mere participation, a pet supply donation drive will run concurrently. The event's organizers encourage attendees to "bring your items to the Parade or drop them off at Brackett Recreation Center" during its operational hours, as per the bulletin. Desirable donations—specified to be new or barely used—include crate-sized blankets, non-perishable food, and various pet accessories.
Brackett Recreation Center will eschew its regular activities on June 5 in lieu of the day's events, so plan your other recreational routines accordingly. Anyone with questions is directed to call 612-370-4924 or email [email protected] for additional info.
