Dog Day Out

Overview

If a day spent hanging out with furry friends sounds like your ultimate Saturday session, you're going to love Chippendale's newest weekend festival, Dog Day Out. Taking over Chippendale Green on April 6, this pup-filled fiesta promises a big day of fun for furbabies and humans alike.

On the day, you'll catch over a dozen market stalls, slinging products and information to help your pet live their best life. Sign them up for a massage or free vet check, stock up on healthy dog treats, or maybe even make a new forever friend at one of the animal adoption stalls. There'll also be stacks of great human fare, from the likes of Gami Chicken and Beer, Ribs n Burgers and Coco Cubano.

But the day's main event is the Fancy Dress Dog Show. With entry by $5 donation, this parade is set to deliver some extra adorable moments and a swag of great costumes, as contestants vie for prestigious titles and prizes.

Held in conjunction with Sydney Dogs and Cats Home, the event will help raise much-needed funds for the charity's new, bigger facility, to be built in Kurnell.
