We will have 2 separate fenced areas for your pups to run and enjoy themselves off-leash.  One section for large dogs and one for small.  Please bring  bags to clean up after your pet.  Water will be available as well as some treats, and other pet friendly activations.  We will also have many different pet related vendors to shop, learn about and interact with.  

Music will be played at a volume that is enjoyable for both animals and humans!  We recognize that loud music can be alarming to animals and have taken that into consideration. There will also be a silent puppy disco to dance the afternoon away with your pet.
