The 16th annual Mystic Mutts of Revelry parade benefiting The Haven for Animals, Fairhope’s No-Kill Animal Shelter, will be held on February 23rd at 3:00 p.m. The walking parade begins and ends at Fairhoper’s park in downtown Fairhope. This year’s theme is “Hairy Pawter & the Sorcerer’s Bone.”
Led by emcee and Grand Marshall, Cecil Christenberry, the parade will begin at 3:00 p.m. from the park located on the corner of S. Church Street and Morphy Avenue.
“This is truly one of the most fun events of the year for pet lovers”, said Shannon Hesse, MMOR chairperson. “The parade and the crowds continue to grow – last year, we had over 350 dogs and 450 people participate in the parade and thousands came to watch.”

All pets and their human registered before February 9th will be eligible for the drawing that will determine which mutt will be King and which will be Queen for a day. Extra drawing chances may be purchased on the registration page.
Comfort Colors t-shirts with the new MMOR logo will be available for purchase on the registration page and on parade day.
Parade passes are $20 per mutt and $15 per human over age 12, $10 for ages 2 – 12 and free for children under 2.
Registration and family-friendly festivities will begin at 12 p.m./noon on parade day in Fairhoper’s Community Park. There will be lots of Hairy Pawter costumes & floats.
