The Big Gay Dog Walk has found a new date! Join us at Banfield Park in Vic West on Sunday, June 1, at 3:30 PM for all your favourite Big Gay Dog Walk activities!
Highlights include a dog costume contest, an impressive dog trick competition, and a scenic group walk along the beautiful Gorge Waterway.
Come and enjoy a variety of fabulous pet vendors, grab a bite from local food trucks, and don’t miss our special memorial area, a peaceful space to honour and remember our beloved pets who’ve crossed the rainbow bridge.
We can’t wait to celebrate our four-legged friends with you! We highly encourage biking or taking transit, as parking is limited.
