📍 Garden Street, Downtown Pensacola (between Tarragona & Palafox Streets)Pensacola’s biggest dog Mardi Gras celebration is back – and this year, we’re going totally Paw-some 80’s! 🎉 Presented by Perfect Plain Brewery and Hanto & Clarke, with official krewe support from the Krewe of Hip Huggers, the 5th Annual Pensacola Paw-di Gras is WolfGang Pensacola’s signature philanthropy event benefiting the Escambia County Department of Animal Welfare.
Recently crowned Best Pet Event in InWeekly’s Best of the Coast — and runner-up for Best Charity Event and Best Parade — this award-winning block paw-ty transforms Downtown Pensacola into a tail-wagging Mardi Gras wonderland for both two- and four-legged festival goers.

🍻 Food & Drinks – Savor local eats, craft beer, and festive cocktails.
🎯 Games for Humans & Dogs – Fun, interactive activities for all ages.
