<h2>Get Ready for a Pugtacular Day!</h2>
Join us for one of Pug Nation’s most anticipated events of the year—a fun-filled day celebrating pugs, costumes, community, and rescue!
Browse our fantastic vendors, bid on amazing silent auction items, meet plenty of adorable pugs, and cheer on the stars of the day in our crowd-favorite Pug Costume Contests! The creativity, enthusiasm, and original costumes are always off the charts, and we can’t wait to see what everyone comes up with this year.
Best of all, you’ll be having a great time while supporting Pug Nation and helping us continue our mission of rescuing pugs and finding them loving forever homes. Whether you’re a longtime pug lover or simply looking for a great day out, this is an event you won’t want to miss!
<h3>NEW LOCATION THIS YEAR!</h3>
We’re excited to welcome everyone to a new, spacious park location with plenty of grass and trees, giving you lots of room to relax and enjoy the festivities.
Bring your own chairs, blankets, and even a picnic lunch, then find a comfortable spot in front of our stage and make a day of it! Prefer to leave the food to someone else? We’ll have food trucks on-site, along with vendors offering delicious desserts and coffee for purchase.
Want a guaranteed place to sit with your group? A limited number of picnic tables seating up to six people will also be available to reserve.
Bring your pug (or any dog-friendly breed), bring your friends and family, and come ready for a fun, festive, and relaxed day in the park—all for the pugs!
