Casey Council has announced the highly anticipated Casey Pet Expo will return this year on Saturday 14 September at Wilson Botanic Park in Berwick.
Now in its 16th year, the family-friendly event is a fantastic day out for like-minded pet enthusiasts and their friends in fur, feathers, and scales.
The day provides a variety of activities, including pet-related workshops and live demonstrations.
Featuring live entertainment, face painting and roving performers, pet lovers can also check out market stalls showcasing the latest in pet products, including food, clothing, and unique accessories.
City of Casey chair of administrators Noelene Duff PSM said that pets were an important element of wellbeing for our community.
“With over 36,000 dogs and cats registered in the area, Pet Expo is an excellent opportunity for pet owners to connect, discover and celebrate their pets,” she said.
During the event, Wilson Botanic carpark will be closed except for accessible parking and ride-share service drop-offs. Disabled parking will be available to all guests who can present a valid Accessible Parking permit when entering Wilson Botanic car park. Off-site parking will be available on streets surrounding the park.
As on-site parking is limited, a free shuttle service will be running regularly from Federation University to the park throughout the event.
If you decide to bring your pet, please ensure they are on a lead. No bookings are required for this event.
