Bird Dog Parade


WHAT

The annual Bird Dog Parade will once again kick-off the 2024 National Pheasant Fest & Quail Classic in Sioux Falls, South Dakota on March 1st. All parade participants will walk the parade route to the ribbon cutting ceremony that will open the weekend show. This event is unique to National Pheasant Fest & Quail Classic and is highly attended. In past years, we had over 100 dogs participate representing over 40 different sporting dog breeds.

WHEN

Friday, March 1st at 11:00 am. Plan to arrive early on Friday if you'd like to watch, the parade is one hour BEFORE the general showroom floor opens. You don't want to miss it!

DETAILS

Check-in for participants will begin at 10:00 am on Friday, March 1st and will be open until 10:50 am. The parade will begin promptly at 11:00 am. Due to the size of the parade, no day-of admissions are allowed.
