For the first time since 2019, the annual Barkus on Main celebration hits the Main Street Creative Corridor in downtown Little Rock once again this Sunday, April 10. A deluge of dogs will strut their stuff down the city streets with prizes for best dressed, owner/pet lookalikes, most impressive trick and more.
But it doesn't end there. After the parade, the 300 and 400 blocks of Main Street will shut down for a family-friendly Mardi Gras block party complete with gumbo, a crawfish boil, food trucks, local vendors, a hurricane station and a beer garden.
The festivities begin at noon, while the parade begins at 2:30 p.m. at Seventh and Main streets. Registration is still open for pups wanting to compete, and the first 150 dogs to check in will receive a complimentary "wag bag."
Barkus on Main is presented by Hounds Lounge Pet Resort & Spa, with more locals like Soul Fish Cafe, Brewski's Pub & Grub and Bark Bar getting in on the fun as well.
