Calling all canine candidates for the Reindog Parade, celebrating the one day of the year that dogs may set paw in the Garden. Watch as dozens of doggies parade before a panel of celebrity judges to compete for prizes and praise.

Enjoy Pup Tent refreshments, photos with Saint Nick and connect with local canine enthusiasts and businesses in the Doggie Expo. The first 100 pre-registered participants to arrive receive a special Wag-Bag of gifts. You don't need to have a dog to join in the furry fun.

Registration ends December 1, so get your imagination wagging. The Reindog Parade takes place Saturday, Dec. 5 from 11 a.m. - 1 p.m.
