DogFest celebrates dogs and their owners at the Arise Church Community Dog Park in Pinckney, MI. Enjoy six hours of fun with your dog:

  • Paws-on activities such as lure chase, agility course, contests and barn hunt. Dress your dog for best costume.

  • See the latest products and services for your dog

  • Enjoy canine demonstrations

  • Treat you children and grandkids to games and entertainment just for them: fog machine, face painting, bounce house, corn hole

  • Enjoy lunch at the Doggy Cafe


Entry fee is $15 per vehicle or $10 when you bring a pet food donation for Chuck Waggin. Proceeds of DogFest maintain and improve the Arise Church Community Dog Park and fund future DogFests. DogFest is not a fundraiser for the church.

Dogs must be leashed. Aggressive dogs (or humans) will be asked to leave.
