Bark in the Park Pet Festival: A Howl-in' Good Time!

Calling all dog lovers! Bark in the Park is back for another year of tail-waggin' fun! Now bigger and better in a huge park on the lake! 

This paw-some event will always feature all your favorite activities, including:

  • A 5K run / charity walk where you can show off your dog's speed and stamina (or lack thereof).
  • Children's activities, Dog activities, Contests, and more!
  • Adult activities: relays, bags, hoola-hoop contest, and more.
  • Raffles galore, booze/wine raffles, and silent auctions of jewelry and sports memorabilia.
  • Photo op sponsored and decorated beautifully for a treasured photo to hang.
  • Rescues with adoptable pets so you can find your new best friend.
  • Vendors galore: people and doggy vendors are both going to be there for your pocketbook to empty out at.
  • K-9 demonstrations and a fire truck for our amazing first responders to show off.
  • LIVE music, beer, and food trucks to keep you and your pup well-fed and entertained!
  • And our FREE microchip clinic! Bring your doggos; kitties or bunnies in carriers also welcome. 

All well-behaved, leashed dogs are welcome! So come one, come all, and celebrate our furry friends at the Bark in the Park Pet Festival!

But beware! This festival is not for the faint of heart. There will be plenty of barking, tail-wagging, and general dog chaos. Looking for a relaxing day in the park, you'll find some places to park your rear ends and enjoy the dog-watching. So, if you're up for a good time with your furry friends, then the Bark in the Park Pet Festival is the paw-fect place for you!

P.S. If you've lost your dog, don't despair! Billy's Posse is a volunteer organization that helps find lost and stolen dogs in Southeastern Wisconsin. They're here to help, so don't hesitate to contact them.

Learn more about the Billy's Posse at https://billysposse.com/ .

IMPORTANT NOTE: All dogs must be well-behaved, leashed, and UTD on vaccinations (bordatella, rabies, distemper). NO selling of dogs at festival unless a registered rescue. If your dog is reactive or doesn't have manners but needs to be microchipped, please message our FB page or call/text our hotline anytime for us to schedule a home visit (262-833-7480)
