Alpacas, police dogs and pet fortune tellers will be part of the fun at the ninth annual Burlingame Pet Parade, beginning at 10 a.m. on Broadway in Burlingame. Pet owners who wish to march with their pets must report by 9:30 a.m. to the parking lot near Broadway and Chula Vista. There is no charge to participate. This family-friendly event offers free entertainment and art projects for children. Every participant receives a souvenir ribbon and fancy ribbons are awarded for the Best Pet Trick; Most Unusual Pet; Best Dressed Pet; and Most Original Float, Group or Wagon.
