Gather your friends, family and dogs for a day of fun at DogFest Bay Area in Oakland! DogFest supports the mission of Canine Companions to enhance the lives of people with disabilities by providing expertly trained service dogs free of charge. These service dogs make a profound impact through the jobs they do like opening doors, picking up dropped items, alerting to sounds and much more.

Join the fun at your local DogFest or participate virtually and celebrate the joy dogs bring to our lives. Registration is free. Fundraising is encouraged. There are sponsorship , volunteer and vendor opportunities too!

When registering, be sure to indicate you are bringing a dog to get your free DogFest dog bandana. Then fundraise to qualify for some fun DogFest swag!

Be sure to check out our Facebook event page for the latest on DogFest Bay Area, participate in dog-friendly activities and let people know why you are participating. You can even download this fun sign and let everyone know how your dog brings you joy.

Attendees will enjoy activities and entertainment for the whole family, local vendors and the annual canine costume contest.
