Held every year in the city of Bend, the July 4th Pet Parade & Old Fashioned Festival has been one of the city's favorite annual traditions since the 1930s. The celebration kicks off in the morning with a pancake breakfast offered by the local Lion's Club, and at ten o'clock in the morning, a pet parade starts through the city center; dogs are more than welcome, as are people, bicycles, and even stuffed animals. Once the parade is over, the next stop is Drake Park, where visitors will find children's games, live music, food vendors, and products being sold by local artisans.
