Barkly Barks Dog Festival 2019
Your regular Sunday trip to Woolies just got way better.
Overview
The pooches of Melbourne will be on parade at this returning festival for our furriest of friends. On Sunday, May 25, Barkly Square in Brunswick will play host to the fourth Barkly Barks Dog Festival, complete with a doggy mini market, dog-friendly beers, professional trainers and more.
The festival will cater to dogs of all shapes and sizes, with tons of activities for participants on both two legs and four. You can buy your pet a treat from Canine Wellness Kitchen, Melbourne's dog-friendly food truck; get some costumed pooch snaps and give your doggo a 'pupparazzi' moment; or take your pup to meet a different kind of canine: a real Aussie dingo.
But the main event is the dog parade, where gongs will be given out in a whole range of categories, including most obedient, fastest floof, best costume, and dog and owner lookalike. Not sure we'd want to win that one, even if there are prizes up for grabs.
Barkly Barks Dog Festival runs from 10am–3pm.
