Hot Dog Festival

Overview

Do you reckon the best kind of dogs are the edible ones that come stuffed in a roll and drizzled with mustard? Or perhaps you like the furry sausage-shaped ones with short legs and waggly tails? Either way, you'll find yourself in hot dog heaven at Welcome to Thornbury this Saturday, March 19.

The food truck park is hosting a Hot Dog Festival, dedicated simultaneously to cute sausage dogs and snags in bread. Head along from 12pm with your dachshund (or other doggo) in tow, and enjoy a festive day out feasting on all sorts of clever hot dog-inspired creations from the day's lineup of food vendors.

At 3pm, there'll be a competition to scout and crown Melbourne's longest sausage dog — so if you've got a stretchy four-legged pal of your own, enter them online now.

And at 4pm, you can put your own years of training to the test in the hot dog eating competition (hoomans only, sorry Rover). You'll need to apply online for that as well.

As always, the bar will be serving a swag of tap brews, wines and cocktails to see you through the day.
