Puptopia is a day of sheer canine cuteness in waterside Veterans Park. It’s all about fun, games and pampering, with a giant ball pit, agility tunnels, spa treatments, vendor shopping and live stage shows. Whether your pup is a social butterfly, the sporty type or all chill, there’s a zone for you.
At the heart of the festival is The Pawground, a full-blown sensory playground with a giant ball-filled dog bowl, an oversized fire hydrant perfect for photo ops and plenty of room for pups to make new friends. Steps away, the K9 Lounge is the shared human-and-hound hangout—order food and drinks, claim a lounge chair and let your dog work the room at breed meetups.
The Main Stage runs entertainment all day, with stunt-dog stars and training demos rotating through the lineup. Got an energetic one? Let them burn it off in the Pupformance zone, tackling tunnels, ramps and jump-overs on an enclosed, owner-led agility course. Shop the Pup Vendors for treats, stylish leashes and collars and locally made finds. And for pure pampering, book into the Spaw for a pet-icure or grooming touch-up before the day’s big photo ops.
Confirm your free entry on the Puptopia RSVP page—each sign-up covers one human and up to two leashed dogs. Leashes stay on the whole time (six feet max, no retractable), and the party runs rain or shine from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Veterans Park, 40870 Big Bear Blvd.
