Here are 5 things to do at Bark in the Park!

  1. Give A Fur-Ever Home To A New Furry Friend: There will be pups that are available for adoption at the event. You may have your heart stolen, you have been warned. LOL
  2. Pet Costume Contest: Dress up your pup and come on down to Bark in the Park to show them off! The categories are “Best Downtown Chic”, “Best Pirate Pup” and “Most Creative”. There will be 3 winners chosen from each category. Register your pet at the event for a $10 donation. Costume contest will be at 12:30 on February 12, 2022.
  3. Check Out 70+ Pet Friendly Vendors: You never know what you may find at the booths of our 70+ vendors.
  4. Photo Ops: Say “CHEESE” with your furry friends in the photo ops located around the park.
  5. Participate In The 1-Mile Walk: The homeless animals need you to form a Pack, join an existing Pack, or register as a Lone Wolf to fundraise for the animals. Pack members and Lone Wolves can earn great giveaways and prizes, all while raising much-needed funds for homeless animals. More info here >>
