Barkfest: The friendliest Dog Friendly Event in town!
We LOVE a day out with the dogs and the folks at Feastival have done it again. This time bigger and better by setting your dogs festive day out at the beach. A rare treat to have a beach day and festive one at that with your pups. On for one day event so be sure to save the date.
Located at Barasti Beach for a day of festive fun. Expect off-leash zones for dogs (separate zones for small and Med/large dogs), beach access, dog show-with excellent prizes from the Pet Shop & Royal Canin and a soft play area for kids. Needless to say there is something for everyone.
Don't forget to come see us at our Howl & Growl Pop up for some amazing Christmas and all year round fantastic finds for your pets.
Splash Zone
A fun, supervised area where dogs can cool off, play, and splash around safely. Perfect for water-loving pups to enjoy some off-leash fun and beat the heat!
Shop our waterproof collection or purchase at the event from Howl & Growl
