The Puparazzi Pooch Parade is one of the highlights of Coastal Twist Festival’s Coastie Carnie Fair Day in Umina Beach this weekend.
This isn’t a typical dog show – this is all about attitude – whether you have a stylish pedigree, a mutt with sass, or a completely unique furball, it’s time to bring them to the spotlight.
The Puparazzi Pooch Parade kicks off on Sunday, October 6, at 10:45am, as part of the free, all-ages Coastal Twist Fair Day.
It will feature 45 minutes of furry fashion and fun, hosted on the main stage by the iconic, award-winning First Nations drag queen Timberlina, known for dazzling crowds with her larger-than-life presence and signature style.
The categories are packed with flair and fun: DogsDoingDrag celebrates the most stylish, gender-bending pooches, while WhoWoreItBetter puts owners and dogs in a look-alike showdown.
Show off your dog’s talent in TurningTricks and let them shake their tails in HottestTwerker to see who’s got the best moves.
Amazing prizes are up for grabs, including a $2,000 event package from Ocean Beach Surf Life Saving Club, a $350 tattoo and merchandise pack from Ocean Beach Tattoo, and vouchers from Puppylicious Dog Washing, Margarita Daze, Beau’s Burgers, plus goody bags from Paws on the Coast and handmade goodies from Tinker & Co, and more.
