Dogs - Bring Your Owners to HappyTail Hour at Kroger's Fest-a-ville event at Waterfront Park!Once again, Metro Animal Services (MAS) and the Louisville Waterfront Development Corporation (WDC) will host HappyTail Hour, in conjunction with Kroger's Fest-a-Ville on the Waterfront. It is the only "pet inclusive" cocktail event. This pet friendly cocktail event will take place Monday, April 30, from 5 p.m. - 9 p.m. at Waterfront Park. All pets must be on leashes.
The event will provide a fun opportunity for the pet loving community to come together to listen to music on the Great Stage, mingle, play games with their dogs and hang out in the newest Derby Festival venue at Waterfront Park. S.P.O.T., MAS's 34-foot mobile adoption unit will also be on hand with adoptable animals. .
"There are a lot of festival events, but none are really conducive to pets. HappyTail Hour will fill that void and provide an event where people can bring their pets along to have a bite to eat or to socialize," said Jackie Gulbe, MAS assistant director of community relations. "Many people love mingling with other pet lovers and the animals like and really need to socialize too."
The original event was conceived as a result of community feedback expressing concern about a lack of events that welcome pets. Many dog owners are interested in social activities that are pet friendly.
"I see how many people bring their dogs to the other events that we have on the waterfront and it just made sense to have an event geared for the pet loving crowd," said Ashley Cox, WDC marketing & event coordinator. "This will be a Derby event where pets are completely welcome!"
