If you’re a pet parent in York Region, you already know that New’bark’et is one of the most anticipated dog friendly events of the year. And if you’ve never been before, this is the perfect year to start a new tradition.
For years, I’ve had the pleasure of attending New’bark’et, and it’s always a highlight of the summer. This year the event is moving to a brand new location at the Ray Twinney Recreation Complex. While some may miss the annual pooch plunge at the pool, trust me, there’s still an incredible lineup of activities, vendors, and entertainment to make tails wag and pet parents smile.
Why You Don’t Want to Miss It
🐾 Global Pet Foods and their amazing team are once again sponsoring the event, bringing the community together and supporting our love of pets.
🐾 Unified K9 is running not one, but three exciting activities: Scent Den, Obstacle Course, and Canine Games. These are interactive, enriching ways to challenge your dog’s brain and body while having plenty of fun together.
🐾 Aqua Dogs Dock Diving is back. Whether your pup is ready to take the plunge or you just want to sit back and watch incredible dogs leap through the air, dock diving is always a crowd favourite.
🐾 Two agility lure courses will be set up for dogs of all energy levels to try something new, burn off steam, and have a blast.
🐾 The Canine Circus will wow the crowds with their talented performing dogs, providing entertainment the whole family will enjoy.
🐾 And of course, no festival is complete without food trucks, shopping, and amazing local vendors. From pet products to unique finds, there’s always something new to discover.
