INDEPENDENCE DAY WEEKEND
THANK YOU TO OUR 2024 PRESENTING SPONSOR - NORTH WHIDBEY POOL, PARK, AND RECREATION DISTRICT
Walking with the pet parade...
Your pets will be the center of attention at the Oak Harbor Chamber's Whidbey Wags Pet Parade. Pets and their humans are encouraged to dress up and show off their Independence Day spirit.
Fun and games don't end with the parade...
Participants are welcome to attend the pet fair after the parade which will include pools, giveaways, games, photo ops, and more for humans and pets. Bonus: our friendly Oak Harbor Police Department Animals Control officer will be onsite if you have any questions.
Dress to impress
Show off your patriotic spirit. All pet owners are invited to dress up their furry friends in themed costumes, flair, and decorations and participate in the parade. The most creative and original entries will even win trophies!
Thank You to our 2024 Judges
