Pet Lovers Fest 2026

Mark your calendars! Our 5th Annual Pet Lovers Fest is happening on:

📅 May 16, 2026
⏰ 11:00 AM – 3:00 PM
📍 Lafayette Village

We have a feeling this milestone year is going to be the best one yet! Join us for an unforgettable day celebrating pets, community, and all things animal-loving.

Bring your family, friends, and of course your leashed, well-behaved pups for a fun-filled afternoon featuring an amazing lineup of vendors, from informational booths to fun, pet-related shopping (and even permanent jewelry!). There truly is something for everyone.

Come hungry! Smokin Mo's BBQ will be serving up delicious eats, and Jersey Mike's Subs, a huge hit from last year, will be back again!

Get ready for fan-favorite activities like kitten AND puppy yoga (yes, it’s as adorable as it sounds), plus so much more to enjoy throughout the day.

And for the first time ever, we’re teaming up with The Lafayette House to bring you a beer garden experience! Even better, dogs are welcome to join their owners, and there will be a special dog-friendly menu just for them!!

Plus, every dollar raised helps support the animals here at Father John’s Animal House, giving them the care, shelter, and second chances they deserve.

Interested in being part of the fun as a vendor or sponsor, or just need more information? Reach out to Ariana at ariana@fatherjohns.org, we’d love to hear from you!

Trust us, you won’t want to miss this!
