DogFest 2023

Overview

Forget about every dog having its day — on Sunday, March 19, every dog in Brisbane can have their own festival. Victoria Park / Barrambin is putting out the welcome mat for peppy pooches and their loving owners thanks to DogFest. Has anything ever had a more appropriate title?

Between 9am–2pm, the Herston spot will become a canine wonderland, complete with food trucks, live music and market stalls. Some spots will be selling food for humans only. Others will be going all in on doggo treats. Yes, it's a best-of-both-worlds situation.

Plus, two stages will boast everything from dog competitions (including categories for best dressed and best trained) to masterclasses about pupper obedience behaviour. Promoting the latter is a big focus of the whole day, should you literally be looking to teach your four-legged best friend some new tricks.

Entry is free, but you can reserve tickets in advance online.
