Dear Friends,

We are so happy to bring back Cincy PugFair after a long break that began during the pandemic!

We organize this family-friendly event to raise money for pug rescue and unite local pug lovers. While this event celebrates our love for pugs, we welcome all well-behaved breeds.

The theme this year is Garden Pawty. We want everyone to get in the spirit (humans and dogs) with anything related - Garden Fairies and Gnomes, Mushrooms, Bugs, Birds, Veggies, and Flowers in Bloom.

Activities include:
Dog Costume Parade and Contest
STARBUCKS Sponsored Puppuccino Races
Professional Pet Photographer
Animal Communicator
Music
Vendors
Bid and Buy Auction,
Food (Angilo’s Pizza)
Duckpond, Games, and More!

The event is on a ball field, and there are no chairs. If you’d like to sit during the event, please bring your own chairs or blankets.

We ask that all dogs are up to date and current on vaccines. Retractable leashes are discouraged.
