The 28th annual installment of the event will take place on Saturday, February 12, beginning at 10 a.m. at the park (512 E Washington Street).

The event is hosted by the Pet Alliance of Greater Orlando and will feature a variety of pet vendors, lure courses, dock diving, adoptions, food trucks, and a pet costume contest.
