This year’s Do Dah Day 2018 was a huge success. A Birmingham original, thousands of people once again descended on the Highland Park neighborhood to have a good time and raise funds to benefit homeless animals in the Birmingham and Jefferson County areas.

Since  1992, the organization has raised  over $1.3 million.

One of the highlights of this year’s event?  The parade.
