Summer of 2005 Paws Party

Event

Fetch your sunnies, fluff up your fur, and get ready for the ulti-mutt summer pawty! They're unleashing the summer vibes the only way they know how: sprinklers on, tunes up, deckchairs out and tails wagging. With a throwback soundtrack, this paws party is the coolest way to kick off your Hottest 100 of 2005 day.

Sprinklers, water pistols and cooling sprays to help you and your good boys and girls beat the heat.

Strike a paw-se in their water-spraying rainbow photo booth – it's paws-down the most refreshing and fur-tastic place for summer snaps.

Deckchairs for the humans, shady spots for the pups, and maximum summer loafing all round.

Live summer tunes by Wayne Kelly and Ange Mount, serving up a tail-wagging playlist inspired by the Hottest 100 of 2005 – pure throwback bliss with a live-music twist.

Sniff out treats, tasty bites and summer finds at the Haig Park Village Markets – paws down the best way to round out a hot dog day.
