JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – It's PAWsibly the cutest festival in Jacksonville.Â
The 16th annual GoldenFest is back this weekend. More than 100 dogs will gather for outdoor fun at Kanine Social's private indoor-outdoor dog park.
On Sunday, April 7th, Goldens and their families will meet friends, play and have fun!Â
The event will feature contests, vendor booths, a silent auction and refreshments.Â
Craft beer, coffee, kombucha and wine will be available for purchase in the tap room.
GoldenFest is one of G.R.E.A.T’s main fundraisers – funds raised in the auction go directly to the medical needs of rescued Goldens waiting for their forever homes.
This is a Golden Retriever event, but if a Golden has a "brother or sister” in their family that is not a Golden, it’s ok to bring them as well, event coordinators say.Â
Some rescue dogs that are in foster care will be attending the event, but adoptions will not be done on-site.
THESE THINGS ARE REQUIRED:Â
-
$25 for Goldens and their families/friends.
-
All dogs must have proof of up-to-date rabies, distemper and Bordetella vaccinations to enter the event (park rules). A phone picture of the info is sufficient. Titers are only acceptable for distemper.
-
All dogs over 1-year-old must be spayed/neutered (park rules).
-
Please bring lawn chairs for yourselves.
