This event isn’t just about dogs; it’s also a celebration of community and the great outdoors. So whether you’re a dog owner or just a fan of four-legged pals, all ages and breeds are welcome to join the fun. Plus, you don’t even need to have a dog or a kite to take part. But if you do have either, feel free to bring them along for a day filled with joy!

A Packed Schedule Awaits

The day will kick off with a delightful costume contest from 9 am to 11 am, where pups can strut their stuff in various outfits, either solo or in teams! Who knows? You might just see a dog dressed as a superhero or a taco! The pooch parade will follow at noon, showcasing these canine fashionistas in a lively procession.

Exciting Activities for Everyone

But the fun doesn’t stop there! Attendees can engage in various activities, from kite flying to checking out the artisan market and indulging in tasty treats from the food vendors. The artisan market will have a selection of goods for both humans and their furry companions, ensuring every visitor finds something special.

For the adventurous souls, a rock climbing wall provides a thrilling experience, allowing both kids and adults to reach new heights. And don’t forget about the live entertainment: enjoy some groovy beats laid down by a DJ who will keep the atmosphere lively.

Meet and Adopt

In a heartfelt move, the event partners with local organizations like the Animal Defense League of Texas and San Antonio Pets Alive, allowing attendees to meet and adopt dogs looking for forever homes. This is a great chance to find a furry companion to add to your family, so don’t miss out! Also, be on the lookout for a limited number of free plants available for adoption from the City of San Antonio Horticulture Department, but it’s first-come, first-served while supplies last.

So, Dog Lovers, Are You Ready?

The Fest of Tails promises a fantastic day of fun, laughter, and bonding with community members, all while celebrating our beloved pets and the beautiful outdoors. Come out to McAllister Park with your family and friends, enjoy the lively atmosphere, and maybe even find a new furry friend to take home!

Don’t forget to dress your dogs in their best costumes for the contest and prepare for a day filled with tail wags and kite-filled skies. We can’t wait to see you there!
