The dog days of summer may be over for most of us, but not in Cobb County! This weekend, thousands of pet-lovers and their four-legged friends will gather for Woofstock, "Atlanta's largest pet party in the park!"
For it's 12th year, the Smyrna Village Green will go to the dogs for the south's largest pet adoption event and celebration of all things canine. This year, Woofstock is unleashing a paw-sitively awesome line-up of fun activities for your family and fur-babies on Saturday, September 30 and Sunday, October 1.
Ready to adopt? Over 50 non-profit rescue groups will be on hand to help connect you with your new best friend.
Just there to let Fido enjoy a romp with some puppy pals? Strap a leash on your pup and enjoy live music, kids activities, pet supply vendors, pet contests with challenges like Frisbee chasing, dog tricks and agility courses.
For a howling good time, be sure to catch folk musicians Joseph and local singer-songwriter Alex Guthrie on the music stage on Saturday.
If you're panting from the heat, check out the "Mans' Best Friend" cave, a mancave-esque seating area with TVs and a cooler of "bones" so that you can check in on the game and cool off with your furry friends.
And calling all daredevil dogs! Your pet pal can compete to see how far he can plunge into a giant dog pool at the "Dogs Dock Diving Show." Just try to avoid a ruff landing...
Woodstock is free and all pets are allowed as long as they're on a leash. Saturday, September 30 (11 a.m.-7 p.m.) and Sunday, October 1 (11 a.m.-6 p.m.).
