We're back, BIGGER and BETTER in 2024! 🐾🐾🐾

Our annual FNQ Dogs Day Out Festival will be held on Saturday 31 August, 2024 at Barron Waters Park, Caravonica.

A celebration of man’s best friend, and an exhibition of the best products, services and entertainment for all those who love pets and animals.

This event is made possible thanks to our event partner, Cairns Regional Council and our major sponsors, Red Beret Hotel and Dogtainers Pet Transport Cairns. Thanks also to our other sponsors, Northern Beaches Veterinary Clinic, Emergency Vets 24/7 and Care FNQ Disabilities

We are delighted to announce Yaps as our 2024 charity partner.

With a program of entertainment with MC host, The Festival Guy, this is a FREE family event and includes education on responsible dog and pet ownership and adoption, as well as agility and training demonstrations. Most importantly we will have some fun and interesting interactive activities for you and your dogs.

There will be stalls with pet products including healthy food snacks, medicinal products, crafts, clothing, artworks and loads more pet related items, plus a selection of local food vans.

Talk to the experts, get the latest information and advice, FREE samples, and purchase goods at festival only specials from our exhibitors. It’s a great opportunity also to support local animal welfare charities and rescue services.

Whether you have a fur baby, are considering it, or just simply love all creatures great and small (and cute and fluffy!) this fabulous family event is for you!

We hope to see you there!
