This is a popular question. Simply, the cow is a universally beloved animal. The cow represents different things to different people around the world-she’s sacred, she’s historical, she connects us to our past-but the common feeling is one of affection.

Each figurine is a replica of a life-size original masterpiece from a CowParade event. Over 100 events have been organized in cities such as Boston, Chicago, Dublin, Edinburgh, Fortaleza, Guadalajara, Houston, Kansas City, London, Milan, New York City, Paris, Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo, Tokyo, Valenciennes, Warsaw and more.

Interested in hosting this unique public art event? We welcome new cities, towns and venues throughout the world. Past organizers include tourism boards, non-profit organizations, event companies, individuals and other moo’vers and shakers.
