Celebrate Pride — a celebration for ALL — including your pets! Come out with your dog to Manhattan West Plaza on June 10 from 12-4 PM for a colorful afternoon of amazing performances, fabulous activities, and marvelous treats! Humans and canines alike will enjoy a live program of cabaret entertainment and activities that range from pet tarot readings to rainbow paw-dicures. Attire is encouraged that captures you and your furry friend’s true colors and commemorates Pride. Or pick up a rainbow bandana upon your arrival!
Activities include:
- Performances by Circus Amok (Beginning at 12:15 pm, 1:20 pm & 2:30 pm) — Be amazed by this NYC-based circus-theatre company that will bring its funny, queer, caustic, and meaningful one-ring spectacles to Woof Fest! Bessie and Obie Award-winning host Jennifer Miller and the company will entertain you with comedy, juggling, stilt walking, acrobatics, unicycle riding, and a live band!
- Pup Psychic — See into your dog’s future — or past! Our psychics will perform tarot readings for your pup.
- Pawdicures — Our friendly pet groomers will give your four-legged friend specially painted nails for Pride. Using dog-friendly polish, each nail will be painted a different color to make a rainbow!
- Pet Caricatures — Capture your canine at its best with a hand-drawn caricature of your dog, created by our talented artists.
- Photo Moment — Call the pup-a-Razzi! Capture an Instagrammable moment, as you and your pup pose alongside a variety of queer icons.
