‘Pawty Like a Rockstar’ theme of Dog Parade

Summers in Leelanau County are filled with so many fun days, but some are way more fun than others.

The Northport Dog Parade which steps off at noon on Saturday, Aug. 8 might rank as one of the more memorable days of summer in Leelanau.

More than 200 dogs will be on parade through the streets of Northport celebrating this year’s theme, “Pawty Like a Rockstar.” Whether it’s rock, pop, heavy metal, funk or hip hop there will be many creative, fun and funny costumes on display from our furry friends and their handlers.
