Melbourne Dog Lovers Festival

We are celebrating our 10th birthday this year with a re-imagined event to present our biggest and best festival ever! To do this we are relocating to Victoria’s most dog-friendly venue, the Melbourne Showgrounds.

The Festival will be overflowing with puppy love as dog enthusiasts from all corners of Melbourne, Victoria and across Australia (that’s you!) descend on what will be one of the grandest dog-dedicated festivals in the world on Saturday 26 & Sunday 27 October.

Get set to experience a much bigger offering of K9-inspired education, entertainment and inspiration with the launch of our all-new Action Dog Sport Arena that will leave you howling with excitement!
