Dogs are pretty tops so they’ve decided to throw an epic doggy pawty for them! Think dog bar (slinging doggy beers and puptails), a doggo cafe (serving doggachinos), pool pawty with bubbles, sand pits to dig for treats and even a ball pit!

Oh and over 20 plus hand selected doggy market stalls to buy everything from treats to collars to beds to toys. Plus epic food vendors to satisfy the tastebuds (humans and dogs alike). They also have a fully licensed bar onsite (for the humans) with craft beer and wine!

Plus did they mention free face painting and doggy craft for the little humans.

Enjoy live music and a beer with your dog in a deckchair on Gosford Waterfront for the Coasts' biggest doggy day out - Bark Park!
