Dogs are the star of the event, of course, with a daylong show and contest. Food trucks ensure that everyone is well fed, while the book fair, merchant stalls, and the doggie adoption zone provide wonderful ways to support the community.

The Dog Show & Contest is the highlight of DogFest. Cheer on your favorite furry friends as they take their turn on the catwalk (dogwalk?) to compete for Best Tail, Best Ears, and more!
The contest kicks off at noon and concludes at 3pm. Halftime entertainment, judge bribery, and impromptu doggie dances are all part of the fun.
