PETAPALOOZA rolls out the red carpet for our four-legged friends and pets of all shapes and sizes. Bring Fido out for a fun-filled strut about town! Visit the Paws Reader and the Photobooth, shop specialty vendors and explore CHESTNUT HILL  with your furry and feathered friends in tow.

Considering a new adoption? This is also a great chance to grow your family, with so many rescue organizations to visit up and down the avenue!

Be sure to stop by The Weavers Way Backyard for other First Friday festivities including Open Mic from 5-6 p.m. and live music with greatest hits band Pleasant Avenue from 6-8 p.m. We'll also be grillin' Dietz & Watson hot dogs and Field Roast vegan dogs for a $1.  BYOB!

PLUS: in celebration of PETAPALOOZA in Chestnut Hill, we’re asking visitors to bring donations of pet food for the SPCA.  Look for special collection bins at participating shops & businesses throughout the village!

The SPCA is in desperate need of wet & dry dog and cat food as well as rabbit/guinea pig food and bedding material.  Let’s help them fill their shelves with vital food for the animals in their care until forever homes are found!
