The Dogs’ Day Out Festival is set to return on October 15, offering a variety of activities for families and their pets. The event, now in its 19th year, will be held at Les Myers Park from 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m., and aims to support the Concord Youth Council with its proceeds.
Participants are required to provide proof of rabies vaccination for their dogs upon entry. Attendees can look forward to pet portrait character artists, a doggie fun zone for off-leash play, free puppuccinos for dogs, as well as food and raffle baskets. Music and various contests including talent, lookalike, and costume competitions will also be featured. Prizes will be awarded to the top three canine contestants in each category.
The festival organizers are currently seeking additional vendors specializing in pet-related products such as toys, clothes, and homemade treats. Animal rescues and shelter organizations are also encouraged to participate. Interested vendors should contact the Parks and Recreation Department at 704-920-5604.
This year's sponsors include Cabarrus Animal Hospital, Harrisburg Animal Hospital, Foster Animal Hospital, Subaru Concord, Mt. Pleasant Animal Hospital, Mt. Pleasant Animal Rescue, and the McDonald General Store.
