Gala Day is BACK!
Join us on Sunday 27th September 2026 at Bicentennial Park for a paw-some day out celebrating dogs and the people who love them!
The day as always, is set to be fun for the whole family, with pet-related market stalls, live entertainment, jumping castle and plenty of activities for both two and four-legged guests.
Try your pup on the agility course and meet local trainers and behaviourists for expert tips. For the kids, there’ll be a jumping castle, and don’t miss the sizzling BBQ fundraiser, with proceeds going to support our local Animal Welfare League.
We’ll also be hosting a Toy Drive for the dogs at Paws For Life Animal Shelter and the Companion Animal Centre – a chance to give back to pups still waiting for their forever homes.
The highlights of the day will be our live demonstrations and dog-friendly competitions, with multiple prizes to be won across a variety of categories thanks to our generous sponsors.
