2025 Burlingame Pet Parade

On September 27th, 2025, the community gathered for and celebrated the 20th annual Burlingame Pet Parade. The parade was led by award winning community theater group, and long time pet parade participants, The Pied Pipers. This wonderful group brings family-friendly musical theater productions, plus performing arts camps & classes. Their next performances are from November 14th - 23rd at the Bayside Performing Arts Center in San Mateo, where they will be doing The Sound of Music. Parade goers enjoyed music from three bands; Burlingame High School Marching Band, Los Trancos Community Marching Band, and the Elks Club Band. 

This year's Grand Marshal was Congressman Kevin Mullin, United States Representative. The congressman was joined by his wife, Jessica, twin boys, Liam & Landon, and their husky, Storm. Storm was rescued by the Mullins in 2024 from the Peninsula Humane Society. Three schools walked in groups in the parade, with two of those entering the school float competition. Face painting was provided by Twinkie Dee Star. This year, as with the last 19, was made incredible by our fabulous community members coming together and having some fun!​​​
