7th Annual Clearwater Pet Festival

All pets and their owners are invited to the Cleveland Street District for the 7th annual Clearwater Pet Festival.

This fun, free and wildly popular event is held on the 500 and 600 blocks of Cleveland Street (Ft. Harrison to East avenues).

Back by popular demand is Twig, the amazing skateboarding Sheltie, and her new BFF, Chili. Read a recent article that mentions the duo and our pet festival. Also, visit Twig's Facebook page or website.

Holiday Inn and Suites on Clearwater Beach, one of our much-appreciated sponsors this year, will provide a three-day, two-night stay for a lucky festival attendee. Learn about the drawing details at the event! Other event sponsors include: Downtown Development Board, BellaDog Magazine, Pet Pride Magazine and Rebecca Brittain Photography.

Activities include a pet parade and contests with awards, a Clearwater Police K-9 demonstration, animal rescue groups highlighting their favored breed, pet supply vendors, entertainment you won't want to miss and of course food!
