The Pet Parade is a fun, family-friendly contest held as part of the Montgomery County Fair & Rodeo where children 8 years old and under can walk their favorite pets and compete for fun prizes. This light-hearted parade, which takes place on Tuesday, April 14, 2026 at 6:00 PM at the Montgomery County Fairgrounds, is not a professional show but a chance for kids to shine with their beloved animal companions. Participants and spectators alike can enjoy seeing a wide variety of pets in a festive atmosphere that celebrates community, youth involvement, and animal fun. It’s a highlight among the fair’s many junior shows and contests that bring families together during this long-running Texas tradition.
