Easter in the Park and Pooch Parade

Easter in the Park is hosted by the Turtle Creek Conservancy and the City of Dallas, and will be held Sunday, April 21st from 1-4 pm. Join us for an afternoon of festivities, including the famed POOCH PARADE, live music by DJ Jennifer Miller, a free Easter Egg Hunt, a special appearance by the Easter Bunny and a variety of food trucks. Steve Kemble and Lee Anne Locken will serve as celebrity emcees again this year.

Ruthies Rolling Café, Easy Sliders, So-Cal Tacos, Aprepa, and Yummy Pizza will be on hand serving up their great, award winning food. 10-15% of their sales will be donated to the Turtle Creek Conservancy, so make sure to come hungry!

Well-behaved, leashed pets are welcome (no retractable leashes please). Non-profit animal rescue organizations including: Dallas Animal Services will be on-site with adoptable pets. Recycled Pomeranians & Schipperkes Rescue will also have adoptable dogs to meet, but applications are required for adoption.

Dallas City Hall on the Go truck will be there to provide selected city services such as pet registration, voter registration, permits, and much more.

Sponsorship and Volunteer Opportunities are still available. Contact Adrian Palmer, Event Coordinator at [email protected]
