Paws & Pizzazz 2018

Overview

Sanctuary Cove's annual day of canine-centric fun returns, so get ready to take your pupper on a road trip.

Paws & Pizzazz takes over the Marine Village on Sunday, September 9 with a celebration of doggos that spans everything from obedience to health checks to responsible pet ownership. The free, all-ages affair is the perfect excuse to take your adorable pooch to the coast for the day — and to buy an adorable pup outfit.

It wouldn't be a dog extravaganza without a pet parade, of course, with fashions on the field, waggliest tail, biggest smile and pets that look like their owner among the categories your pooch can compete in. There'll also be a photo booth so you can take some souvenirs home with you, and a caricature artist to give you a unique piece of art.

Or, if you're heading down without your own animal in tow, folks from Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary will be bringing some along with them.
