No Petpalooza, Yes Happy Paws

As you may have heard, the city made the tough decision to cancel Auburn’s Petpalooza 2021. Fingers (and paws!) crossed for a Dog Trot and Petpalooza festival in 2022! Mark your calendar now and save the date for Saturday, May 21, 2022. Happy Paws logo

Here’s some good news…The City of Auburn is planning a small-scale pet vendor event. While this is not to be confused with the grandiose Petpalooza festival, Happy Paws will give attendees the opportunity to visit some vendors and stock up on some favorite goodies in a safe, outdoor environment.

Happy Paws is planned for Saturday, May 22 from 10:00am – 4:00pm at Les Gove Park. The outdoor event site will be completely fenced, so the number of attendees can be monitored in accordance with state guidelines. The event will also be taking the following safety precautions:

  • Limiting attendance inside fenced area to follow state guidelines
  • In accordance to the Governor’s orders, masks/face coverings are required by all attendees, staff and vendors inside the event area
  • One entrance and one exit
  • One way flow of traffic
  • There will be a maximum of 45 vendors, who will be separated by 10’ per vendor space
  • Social distancing indicators will be placed at each vendor booth
  • Vendors are required to provide a ‘U-shaped’ set-up; thus no attendees will be allowed under canopies
  • Hand sanitizer available at entrance and exit.

At this time, there will be no entertainment or other attractions, but attendees will see up to 45 vendors with items such as pet nutritional products, handmade pets items, pet beds, leashes, animal sculptures, original watercolor paintings and more. Of course, leashed, licensed, well-behaved pets are welcome!


The above is an announcement from the City of Auburn.
