Mitchell Park - Historic Downtown McKinney

Marcia, Marcia, Marcia - Where's Tiger?
It's Barkus Time in McKinney!

If you love Lucy, Andy, Opie, Batman and the Brady Bunch - then the Art Institute of McKinney's annual Krewe of Barkus parade is where you need to be on Sunday, February 22 at 2 p.m. (registration for the parade starts at 12:30 p.m.) at Mitchell Parking in Historic Downtown McKinney. The theme for this year's event is "Tailevision - Classic TV Goes to the Dogs". All area hounds and their handlers are encouraged to come dressed as television characters from the 60s, 70s, & 80s.

McKinney's canine celebration is patterned after the legendary Mystic Krewe of Barkus in New Orleans that was established to help abused and abandoned dogs. The local event is co-sponsored by AIM and McKinney Main Street. In addition to the parade, there will be food vendor, local non-profit booths, canine training and exercise, demonstrations, live music and much more.
