Mardi Growl is one of Knoxville's traditions that benefits the more than 11,000 pets that need Young-Williams Animal Center’s care annually. Show off your creativity and pet’s personality by competing in  costume contests, shop from local vendors and celebrate our shared love for pets.

Mardi Growl raises funds through parade registrations and sponsorship opportunities, it also celebrates the pet-loving community and the businesses who make Young-Williams' work possible.
