49th Nantucket Daffodil Festival
Daffodil Dog Parade with NiSHA
Deck out your four-legged companion in their Daffodil best for a howling good time! Join the Nantucket Chamber in partnership with NiSHA for our Daffodil Dog Parade, Saturday April 26th, 12:30 PM at Children's Beach Bandstand, 40 Harbor Way.
A beloved highlight of the Nantucket Daffodil Festival, the Daffodil Dog Parade is a cherished tradition that celebrates the island’s four-legged friends in full daffy spirit. Hosted in partnership with the Nantucket Safe Harbor for Animals (NiSHA), the event invites dogs of all shapes and sizes to don their most festive, floral-themed attire and take center stage in a lighthearted competition at Children's Beach.
The pageant began as a fun, family-friendly addition to the festival, quickly growing into a crowd favorite. With awards given to most dapper dogs, the event showcases the creativity and enthusiasm of Nantucket’s dog lovers while also supporting NiSHA’s mission of animal welfare and adoption. Over the years, the Daffodil Dog Parade has not only brought joy to festival-goers but has also helped raise awareness for NiSHA’s important work in the community.
Whether competing or cheering from the sidelines, the event captures the whimsy and community spirit of the Nantucket Daffodil Festival, making it a must-see tradition for locals and visitors alike.
Sign-up on Main Street during the Antique Car & Motorcycle Show or at Children's Beach after 12:15 PM. Staging begins at 12:30 PM at Children's Beach bandstand, once the Antique Cars head to Siasconset. A Nantucket Island Chamber of Commerce Signature Event.
