The Woofville Pooch Party offers free games, contests, and activities designed to delight doggos and their humans while also providing a chance for those without puppers to participate in the celebration.

New this year – a dog adventure course will provide hoops, jumps, tunnels, and teeter-totters to challenge agility while a ball pit and splash pools will delight adventurous dogs. For those who roll over for likes, a photo booth will be set-up on site and free Pawcasso pet portraits will also be available.

Once you work up an appetite, pup cake will be served to the pooches and humans will be invited to chow down on some delicious BBQ hot dogs.

Contests return to the celebration so bring your competitive spirit and go for the gold in best dressed, best trick and best dog categories. There’s even a group walk for hounds and humans.

The event runs at Waterfront Park in Wolfville on Saturday, June 17, from 10am to 1pm. The Mayor’s Pawclamation and contests start at 10:30.

This is a free event, but donations will be accepted for the SPCA to support animals impacted by the Nova Scotia wildfires. Everyone is welcome, even cat people.
