Bark in the Park begins with a one-mile Walk for the Animals along Tampa’s award-winning Riverwalk.

After the walk, attendees can enjoy a family- and pet-friendly festival featuring live entertainment, food and drinks, dozens of amazing vendors, a Kids Zone, fun activities for pets and their people, and a showcase of adoptable dogs.
