On Saturday, August 18, the inaugural Dog Day Afternoon festival will happen from 10:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at the East Green of Carrier Park in West Asheville.
The festival will benefit as well as showcase three local rescue groups: the Asheville Humane Society, the Animal Compassion Network, and Brother Wolf Animal Rescue. All three rescue organizations will have large areas where you can visit dogs available for adoption or learn more about their work.
The event kicks off with a fun run at 10:30 a.m. The fee for the run benefits Brother Wolf. Other events include a weiner dog race, an agility demonstration from Companion Dog Training, and live music from Xanderfly and Big Daddy Love.
Admission is free. Bring some cash. Local restaurants and brewers will be there selling refreshments, and vendors will have doggy products.
