BEND, Ore.- Independence Day in Bend once again included the beloved Pet Parade rolling through downtown Bend, to the joy of hundreds of participants and spectators alike, as it has for close to a century.
Since starting in 1924, the Bend Pet Parade has only not happened three times since then, once in 1943 due to World War II, and in 2020-21 due to Covid-19.
According to Bend Park & Rec, this year’s parade was estimated to have nearly 10,000 participants and spectators.
