Marblehead Festival of Arts is thrilled to introduce a brand-new event this year—the inaugural Pup Party!
This tail-wagging celebration is all about honoring our beloved four-legged companions (and their humans) with a joyful morning of fun, community, and creativity. Pups will enjoy a splash zone to cool off, pup cups, treats, toys, and even a custom engraving station for a special keepsake to take home. Local dog trainer Rocco will be on hand to share helpful training tips, and our town’s favorite dog-loving vendors, including Wags’n Wiskers, Worldly Pets, Pawsitively Marblehead, Marblehead Mutts and Petco, will be offering activities, goodies, arts and crafts for both the pups and their humans, and more. There will also be a giveaway and festive dog costume contest, so get those outfits ready!
The Pup Party is FREE for all two-legged friends (people), and $20 per pet.
Don't delay! Space is limited to just 150 dog-friendly dogs, and each owner is responsible for their pet throughout the event. Please note you'll be required to sign a waiver when entering the event. Whether you're a proud dog parent or just a fan of joyful pups in costume, we hope you'll join us for this paws-itively delightful morning at the Festival!
