Theme Bark 2023

Overview

So, you manage to keep yourself pretty well entertained between the wine festivals, gallery exhibitions and bottomless brunches. But what about that four-legged mate of yours? Well, you'd better clear his or her schedule too, because this OTT pop-up doggy theme park is descending on Melbourne once again for its second iteration.

This winter on Saturday, August 12 at Port Melbourne Industrial Centre for the Arts (PICA), Theme Bark promises the dog's day out your pooch has been dreaming of all their life.

So just what can Luna expect from this paw-some puppy playground? Well, there'll be a big ball pit playpen, complete with slide, and a giant obstacle course for ducking, diving and clamouring around in a floofy cloud of ecstasy.

Talented pooches can try their luck in the Pup Pageant or the Doggy Dash, while the afternoon's dog yoga sessions promise to fill up fast. Meanwhile, the pop-up Barkery Lane market will have retailers slinging everything from dog accessories to toys, plus, they'll be puppacinos and pooch-friendly ice-creams for your bestie.
