About CowParade
CowParade puts art on the street. Local artists paint life-size fiberglass cows, the city sets them out in parks, plazas and sidewalks, and millions of people stop to look.
How it began
CowParade started in Zurich, Switzerland in 1998. Chicago followed in 1999, and New York City in 2000 with more than 450 cows, the largest herd in CowParade history. Since then CowParade has grazed in 110 cities, including London, Paris, Tokyo, Mexico City, São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Prague, Istanbul and Stockholm.
Art for a cause
At the end of each event, many of the cows are auctioned, with proceeds going to local charities. Over the years these auctions have raised more than $40 million for children's hospitals, schools and community organizations.
The figurines
Every figurine in our store is an official replica of a cow that stood in a real CowParade city. Each one carries the artist's name and the event where she appeared. Choose from four sizes:
- Mini Moo: about 3 inches long, made for desks, stockings and gift bags
- Medium (The Collection): about 6 inches long, the classic CowParade figurine
- Museum Edition: 12 inches long, a statement piece for the living room or office
- Museum Edition XL: 15 inches long, our largest replicas
Collectors will find retired and rare cows in The Vault, many with their original box and swing tag.
Official and licensed
Shop CowParade is the official store of CowParade, operated by The CowParade Store, LLC. Every figurine is an authentic, licensed CowParade replica.
