Everyone’s invited to bark in Bryant Park at the AKC MoD’s 40^th anniversary dog parade!

This event recognizes 40 years of the Museum’s mission to preserve, interpret, and celebrate the role of dogs in society. We will bring together local dogs and dog lovers of all ages in a festive gathering culminating in a parade of pups around the park. To participate in the parade, dogs must be registered.  The first 100 participants to register will receive a sample of dog treats from Blue Buffalo and a FREE dog ticket to a future Furry Friday event at the AKC MoD.

This event is free and open to everyone--bring the pack and your lunch to picnic in the park while watching the dogs march by.

It’s going to be a tail-wagging, wonderful time!

Due to a special event, the Museum will be open 11:00am-3:00pm with last admission at 2:00pm.

We apologize for any inconvenience.

Join us for a reception to salute the hero dogs of 9/11 and police canine officers across the country.

Program begins promptly at 6:30pm. Tickets are $75; however, there is no charge to invited uniformed first responders.
