Welcome to Thornbury

520 High Street, Northcote

There's always some sort of party going at Welcome to Thornbury, and while doggos are always welcome, the venue's Tiny Dog Festival will see the space swarmed by pups of the super small variety. If it's an adorable little barking creature, it'll be in the spotlight on Sunday, July 28 — so bring your own or prepare to pat plenty of others.

And, although the site's food trucks and bars will be catering to humans, plenty of dog-friendly businesses will be on hand to cater to your pooch's every need. Plus, if it's anything like last year, there'll be beer (for you) and bone (for your four-legged friend) deals on offer.

As part of the all-round celebration of pint-sized pooches over a few pints, the fest will also feature a tiny dog race and a best-dressed tiny dog competition. If your pupper is speedy or has great style, then you'll want to take part. Plus, Welcome to Thornbury also wants to find the inner north's tiniest adult dog, so prepare to spend a day staring at cute pooches that could fit in your pocket and wonder how you can get them in there without their owners noticing.
