The Big Woof Festival

On January 17-18, 2026, Miami will host The Big Woof Festival—the city’s first large-format dog festival—bringing together thousands of dog lovers, families, and rescue organizations for a weekend of adoption, community, and celebration. The event will benefit PAWS4you Rescue, a Miami-based, non-profit dog shelter that visualizes a world where pets are safe from the threat of euthanasia and live fully in the comfort of loving homes, enriching the lives of those around them.

Taking place in Regatta Park, Coconut Grove, the festival will feature Champion Frisbee Dog performances, entertaining pup contests, City of Miami K-9 exhibitions, dog training demonstrations, wellness talks, vendor booths, and delicious food and drinks.
