McKinney, Texas -- On Sunday, March 2, 2025, the Krewe of Barkus celebrates its 23rd annual Mardi Gras Dog Parade with a theme that's truly "Out of This World - From Astronauts to Aliens, Barkus Shoots for the Stars!"

This year, we're embarking on a cosmic adventure like no other! Get ready to journey far, far away with your favorite four-legged friends as we explore the great beyond.

Are there any Star Wars fans in the house?

How about Trekkies?

Doctor Who enthusiasts?

Or maybe you’ve spotted a UFO—or dream of seeing one someday?

Bring your canine cosmonauts, furry extraterrestrials, and intergalactic gear as we transform the streets into a galaxy of fun, creativity, and barks. This is your chance to unleash your imagination and let your pup shine as the star they are.

Whether you're here for the costumes, the parade, or just the paw-sitively adorable energy, this is a doggone good time you won’t want to miss!
