Celebrating the Most Patriotic Pet while supporting the heart of Historic Downtown Palmetto.

Whether you are a proud pet owner, an animal lover, or simply someone who believes in building a stronger community, this event is for you.

For just $10, your pet can enter the Stripes & Paws competition and show off their patriotic spirit. Community voting is simple: $1 = 1 vote, $5 = 5 votes, $25 = 25 votes — there is no limit to the number of votes you can cast or dollars you can contribute. Every dollar raised helps Palmetto Downtown Main Street continue bringing life, events, beautification, and community-driven initiatives to our downtown district.

Do not have a pet? You can still join the fun by voting for your favorite furry contestant, sharing the contest with friends and family, or sponsoring votes to support downtown revitalization efforts.

This community-driven event is more than a pet contest. It is neighbors coming together to celebrate community, patriotism, and the future of Downtown Palmetto
