Festival Information

Pet Walk to Save Lives and Spread Joy

Join the fun as we put our paws to the pavement in support of health and happiness for pets and the people who love them. The walk starts at 10:30 am with animals and their humans winding their way through a one-mile loop around Broadway Plaza as we highlight the joy and unconditional love dogs and cats bring to our lives. Meet up with friends, make new ones, or have a family outing to support Joybound's work.

Win Prizes

Following the walk, check out the free, family-and pet-friendly festival. More than 40 vendors will be waiting with giveaways, entertainment, and opportunities to win prizes! If your dog or cat loves dressing up, enter them into our Best Dressed Pet Contest and show them off on the catwalk (extra points for matching costumes). And don’t miss the raffle for a brand new HVAC system generously donated by Perfect Star Heating and Air Conditioning.

Visit Animals

Our team and other local rescues will have furry friends of all sizes available for adoption. Make your day even more memorable by finding your new four-legged best friend.
