Atlanta Botanical Garden Hosts Seventh Annual Reindog Parade!

Red Rover, Red Rover, Let Reindogs Come Over! Dogs in costume – what could be more adorable? Find out in person at the seventh annual Reindog Parade on Saturday, December 6  –  the only day of the year that four-legged pals are allowed to set paw in the Atlanta Botanical Garden. During the event, which begins at 11AM, pups clad in their finest holiday attire will parade across a stage before a panel of judges to compete for prizes - or just to show off for fun. Categories include Best Puppy, Best Adult, Best Botanical, Best Dog-Owner Dress-alike, Best Dog Pack, and ultimately, Best in Show.  Emceeing the competition will be Atlanta resident Victoria Stilwell, host of the Animal Planet cable TV show “It’s Me or the Dog,” and Atlanta TV and radio personality Holly Firfer.   A Doggie Expo will offer canine-related products, services and information, warm refreshments will be available under the Pup Tent, and participants may have photos of their dogs made with botanical Saint Nick.   All dogs attending the event are encouraged to pre-register between November 3 and December 2. The cost, in addition to regular Garden admission, is $15 per dog, or $18 at the door (maximum two dogs per owner).   Reindog Parade joins the Garden’s array of holiday offerings this year, including the fourth annual Garden Lights, Holiday Nights November 15 - January 3 featuring botanical-inspired displays created with more than 1.5 million lights.  For more information, visit atlantabotanicalgarden.org.
