Nob Hill to Elect Pet Mayor

As part of this year's Nob Hill is 100 celebration, the Unleashed Pet Parade and Fair happens on Saturday, April 30. Check-in starts at 9 a.m., and the parade itself runs from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The parade route begins at Central and Bryn Mawr SE, near Nob Hill Bar & Grill.

The celebration will also include local vendors and celebrity judges, costume contests, food trucks, adoptable dogs and cats and prizes and live music. For your furry friends participate, there’s a $25 registration fee that includes a human T-shirt, a pet bandana, a $10 Nob Hill Bar and Grill gift card and a gift bag with samples and coupons.
