Paws in the Park

Pup-kin Spice and Everything Nice! Fall Festival “Paws in the Park” is October 12. Paws in the Park returns to Oronoco Bay Park in Old Town Alexandria on Sunday, October 12, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and promises to be an even bigger paw-ty than previous years! This annual event celebrates northern Virginia’s love for animals and offers attendees a one-of-a-kind family and pet-friendly free fall festival featuring vendors, adoptable animals, and a variety of entertainment and live music for kids and adults. Along with many local artisans, nonprofits, and animal-focused businesses, Paws in the Park will host food and beverage vendors, too. Attendees can pack a picnic and also savor drinks and food from local cideries, breweries, wineries, bakeries, food trucks, and more while enjoying the day’s entertainment and shopping. The first 1,000 attendees at Paws in the Park will receive a one-of-a-kind swag bag. Paws in the Park is open to leashed, well-behaved pets of all types.
