Pet Alliance invites all pet lovers to join together at Orlando’s largest pet festival, “Paws in the Park,” presented by Metlife Pet Insurance, returning to beautiful Lake Eola Park in Downtown Orlando on Saturday, February 10, 2024. Celebrating the 30th anniversary year, Paws in the Park kicks off at 10 am with the signature Pet Costume Contest featuring celebrity judges and cash prizes (2024 Themes: Show Your Orlando Pride, Stars of Film & TV, Fun with Food).
Participants and their furry family members can register online and invite their friends and family to join them for the special award ceremony, costume contest and festivities. Then, all attendees and their fur pals will enjoy a full day of both “human” and “canine” activities until 4pm. Activities include the famous dock diving for dogs, lure courses, a beer garden, a variety of foodping, pet products, trucks and shop and more, plus plenty of pet adoption opportunities. Pet Alliance’s mobile vet unit will also be on-site and providing free vaccines. The event is free and open to the public, with fundraising opportunities available to help support Pet Alliance.
“Orlando’s incredible animal-loving community is like no other, and we are thrilled to join back together for the milestone 30th anniversary year of our most popular annual event,” says Pet Alliance Executive Director Steve Bardy. “With the return of festival festivities like the adorable Pet Costume Contest and always amazing dock diving for dogs, plus cool new swag items for fundraising, we promise this year’s Paws in the Park will be our best to date, and we look forward to seeing everyone and their beloved fur family there.”
Paws in the Park supports the mission of Pet Alliance, the region’s oldest and largest animal welfare agency, to educate, shelter, place, and heal pets and their families with compassionate, responsible care. Funds raised from the hugely popular event will help Pet Alliance save over 4,000 dogs and cats this year by providing shelter, care, and love until they find their forever home.
