Dog Lovers Festival, Brisbane 2026

Get ready for the ultimate paw-some experience at the Brisbane Dog Lovers Festival, a celebration of all things canine!

Queensland’s biggest celebration of dogs returns to the Brisbane Showgrounds, and it’s set to be the most tail-wagging festival yet.

Whether a proud dog parent, thinking about welcoming a new furry friend, or just love being surrounded by happy, wagging tails, this is your weekend.

Meet hundreds of beautiful dogs across dozens of breeds, shop hundreds of dog brands with the latest treats, toys, accessories, tech, and more, amazing live dog sports and demonstrations on the VitaPet Arena featuring Australia’s most talented canine stars, Breed Showcase and Adoption Zones where guests can meet breed clubs and adoption organisations with dogs looking for loving forever homes, Pat-A-Pooch sessions for guaranteed smiles and serotonin hits, and delicious food trucks to keep everyone fuelled all day.

This is the ultimate festival for dog lovers, perfect for families, couples, and groups of friends but sadly no BYO dogs.

Celebrate the unconditional love of dogs and create paw-some memories that last a lifetime.
