CowParade, a mooving celebration of cows, cities and artists. Whether you are a collector or are looking for a unique cow gift to buy, these cows on parade fit the bill. Come visit the Cow Parade herd for whimsical fun!

Cow Parade - mOOving art

The parade of cows originated in Switzerland in 1998. This fanciful art exhibit mooved on to Chicago and New York in 1999. Houston was host to over 300 unique cows. The CowParade art show has been seen in London, Las Vegas, Australia, and Uruguay. These exciting bovine events are made possible through the sponsorship of each city, corporate sponsors and the artists without whose imagination, the Cow Parade would not be possible.

While every CowParade form is the same, each is given it's own personality by inspiration of the artist. The life sized fiberglass cows are painted and decorated by the artists in each city. Some reflect the flavor of the host city, such as Broadway Baby of New York or the Yellow Rose cow of Houston, Texas. Some cows use a play on words - Cowabunga, Moo Jersey Diner, Udder Romance and Vincent Van Cogh. In Houston, Texas a limited edition CowParade Chronicow figurine was given to subscribers of the Houston Chronicle to celebrate the paper's 100th anniversary.

Those in need also benefit from the Cow Parade. These large bovine art shows also act as a fund raiser for local charities. A roundup of the CowParade herd at the end of each exhibit features a charity auction.

While hundreds of CowParade cows are featured in the host cities, so far only a few of the artistic cows have been made into miniature ceramic figurines for collectors to buy. CowParade figurines are released in herds of 12 three times a year, in January, June and November. These collectible cows have caught the fancy of bovine lovers all over the world.
