Welcome

We are thrilled to extend a warm welcome to you as you prepare to join us for our exciting STROLL Hyde Park Pet Parade presented by PFS Signature Wealth in beautiful Hyde Park! We can't wait to have you with us for this incredible event, and we want to ensure you have a fantastic and memorable experience. We are excited to be continuing with the parade this year given everything Tampa has been through the past few weeks. We are looking forward to seeing smiles and providing happiness! To help you make the most of your time at the parade, here are some important things to be mindful of:

Date:

  • The STROLL Hyde Park Pet Parade presented by PFS Signature Wealth will take place Saturday, October 19th.

  • Registration will begin at 9AM. The parade will begin at 10AM.

REGISTRATION REQUIRED TO ATTEND:

  • The STROLL Hyde Park Pet Parade is only able to allow those individuals that are registered by the date of registration closing to participate in the event and costume contest.

Parking and Venue:

  • Hyde Park Village has three parking decks available for use. We strongly suggest parking in one of these decks and making the short walk to the registration point/beginning of the parade route. Street parking is very limited.

  • Registration will be at the St. John’s Episcopal Church located at 906 S. Orleans Avenue, Tampa, Florida 33606.

Donations:

  • Our Pet Parade is a FREE event spotlighting The Humane Society of Tampa Bay (HSTB.)  If possible, on the day of the event, please bring a clean, old towel to donate to benefit the Surgical Team at HSTB. 

Costumes:

  • The Hyde Park Pet Parade will feature a costume contest. Details can be found here. All costumes need to be family appropriate. Please keep in mind that children of all ages will be attending the event when choosing costumes.

Respect the Environment:

  • Help us keep the route clean and beautiful by disposing of trash and animal waste properly. There will be plenty of trash cans throughout the route.  Each owner is responsible for cleaning up after their pet.

  • Be mindful of local traffic and neighbors if you encounter any. 

    Health and Safety:

  • Stay hydrated and use sunscreen to protect yourself from the sun.
