⭐️ 🎄 🐾 1st Annual Poulsbo Holiday Pets Parade! Saturday December, 13th the pets are taking over the city and the waterfront! The lighted Christmas ships will be parading out in the bay that night, and your pup will be joining the celebration on land! ⭐️ 🎄 🐾⭐️ 🎄 🐾 It’s not your typical street parade. Instead, we’re inviting you and your beloved companions to gather around Poulsbo’s waterfront during the Lighted Ship Parade and stroll through in their best holiday attire. From Santa hats to elf ears to full-on Viking horns — or maybe even pulling a tiny Viking ship or being proudly chauffeured in a decorated stroller — we want to see your pet’s holiday spirit shine. ⭐️ 🎄 🐾
⭐️ 🎄 🐾 What to expect:
A joyful, come-as-you-are community stroll through Poulsbo’s streets and along the waterfront to watch the ships — starting in the daylight and ending at dusk beneath the glow of the Christmas tree and sparkling street lights.
December 13, 2025 · 5–9 PM (Ships pass Poulsbo from 5 - 5:45 ish)
No entry fees, no vendors, no sales — just neighbors, pets, ships, and pure holiday fun. (Oh, and don’t forget your pooper-scooper bags! 😄)
Big smiles, wagging tails, jingling bells, and plenty of photo-worthy moments filled with holiday cheer.
It might feel early to talk about Christmas, but here in Poulsbo, we know one thing for sure: community — anytime — is a big deal. And nothing brings us together quite like celebrating our pets in the heart of the holidays.
It’s paws, claws, and boats on parade in Poulsbo this holiday season!
