Sugar Mountain x Visions Dog Show
Pups on parade.
Overview
How do you make a day of summer tunes, art and sensory dining experiences even better? Get the party started the day before, and add some cute puppies to the mix. That's what the clever canine-loving folks at Sugar Mountain have done for the festival's 2017 iteration. Introducing: the Sugar Mountain x Visions Dog Show.
A collaboration with the UK's Visions Festival, who launched their own offshoot for four-legged friends earlier this year, the pooch-centric parade takes place from 6.30pm on January 20 at MPavilion. And if that sounds entertaining enough, wait until you hear the competition categories. Yes, there's old favouries such as waggiest tail, best trick, best in show — and there's also RuPaw's Drag Race (aka dogs in drag) and a fancy dress component (which is an excuse to watch cute critters dressed up as Bowie, Kylie, Prince, Warhol and the like, really).
Entry is free for humans and dogs who just want to watch — and while all furry participants will be charged a $10 fee, the proceeds will go to Guide Dogs Victoria. Whether you're enjoying the festivities or entering your pet pup, that's plenty of bark for your buck. Dog Haus DJs will provide the tunes, and yet-to-be-announced guest judges will preside over the action.
