Upcoming Pets Event In Fairfield To Benefit Local Charities

FAIRFIELD, CT — Pet Pantry Warehouse will host its annual Fairfield Dog Days event on Sunday, June 22, at Old Town Hall Green, bringing together pet owners, local businesses, and nonprofit groups to raise awareness and funds for animal rescue efforts.

The family-friendly outdoor festival, scheduled from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., is free and open to the public. Activities will include lure coursing for dogs, face painting, caricature drawings, a bone bar, splash park, food trucks, and an ice cream station for pets.

Adopt-A-Dog, a nonprofit animal shelter, is among the beneficiaries of the event. “It’s a wonderful event for the community with activities for kids and adults,” said Christine Amato, Executive Director of Adopt-A-Dog. “We look forward to showcasing some of our adoptable pets and hope to connect with new foster families.”

Vendors interested in participating can apply for tent space through the Fairfield Chamber of Commerce website or by contacting event coordinator Katelyn Thaler. Tent spaces are 10-by-10 feet and limited in availability.

“The Fairfield event draws over 1,500 attendees each year,” said Beverly Balaz, President of the Fairfield Chamber of Commerce. “While the event is centered around dogs, vendors offering a wide range of products tend to see strong interest from the public.”

The Fairfield Dog Days festival is one of several seasonal events hosted by Pet Pantry Warehouse. Additional 2025 events include:

• Puttin’ On The Dog – Sunday, Sept. 21
• Fairfield Harvest Market & Pet Parade – Saturday, Oct. 18
• Howl & Prowl – Sunday, Oct. 26

Major sponsors for this year’s Dog Days include First Mate, Raised Right, and Open Farm. Other contributing brands such as Earth Animal, Primal, Stella & Chewy’s, and Fromm will offer free product samples during the event.

“These events have become a staple in Fairfield County,” said Adam Jacobson, Executive Vice President of Pet Pantry Warehouse. “They’re designed to build community while supporting the welfare of pets and those who care for them.”
