About

Join us for Fido Fest 2023 on October 14 at Heritage Park in Flower Mound! Fido Fest is a celebration of dogs that raises funds to support the programs and services of Humane Tomorrow. While we’re planning a day of fun FOR dogs, you don’t need to bring one to enjoy it! You don’t want to miss it!

Schedule and Activities

Activity and vendor booths open at 10:00 am and close at 1:00 pm. While there, enjoy activities, educational booths, and entertainment. Shop our vendor booths, take a selfie with a rescue dog, and more… all while helping homeless animals!

Activities may include:

  • Paw print painting
  • Dunk Tank
  • Dog-themed arts and crafts
  • Dog kissing booth
  • Dog ball pit
  • Hot dog bobbing
  • Demonstrations
  • And more!

We’ll also have a raffle with tons of prizes, including doggie daycare certificates, grooming certificates, gift baskets for dogs and people alike, experience certificates, fitness certificates, and more. You do not need to be present to win.

In the event of rain, Fido Fest will be held on October 21.

Cost

Admission to Fido Fest is free, although there will be a charge for some activities, including the Walk for Dogs.

The Fine Paw-rint

All dogs attending must be current on all vaccinations including Rabies and DHLPP. Dogs must be on a leash, preferably non-retractable. We ask that dogs not have prongs or choke collars. Aggressive dogs will be asked to leave.

Flower Mound Animal Services will be doing FREE pet registration for town residents. Registering your pet with the town can assist in reuniting your four-legged family member with you if it is lost. If you would like to take advantage of this service, please bring proof of current rabies vaccination in the form of a receipt or vaccination certificate.
