2024 marks the third year of our annual Indy Pet Parade. At its core, the event is a celebration of our favorite four-legged pals that features a parade through Fletcher Place neighborhood followed by a festival-style party at Metazoa Brewing Company (both inside our taproom and outside in our parking lot). We will have live music, food trucks, local vendors, and fresh beers on tap all day long.

​

The Indy Pet Parade will benefit Pet Friendly Services, Indiana's only statewide nonprofit animal welfare organization. They offer free and low-cost spay/neuter programs for cats and dogs, which are proven to reduce shelter intake and unnecessary euthanasia. The organization receives no government funding and relies on funds from the Pet Friendly Specialty License Plate, donations, grants, and partnerships like this one! Learn more at www.PetFriendlyServices.org.

Patrons who wish to participate in the parade through Fletcher Place are encouraged to come in costume with their pup! The route will begin and end at Metazoa Brewing Co. and will loop through 1.54 miles of the surrounding neighborhood (with police escorts and rolling street closures throughout the route). See below for full map and come prepared to flaunt your stuff (and your pup)!

Must be 21+ and have a PARADE + PARTY ticket to participate in the parade.

Following the parade, patrons are invited to our Fall Festival party at Metazoa Brewing Company. Patrons can purchase a PARADE + PARTY ticket or a PARTY ONLY ticket, but all patrons must have a ticket to attend.
