WHAT IS THE PET ROCK FESTIVAL?

Now celebrating more than ten years in New England, Pet Rock Fest is an annual festival that promotes kindness to animals. Sponsored by: The Worcester Telegram & Gazette, The Second Chance Animal Shelter, Charter Communications, The Weekly Shuffle and and worcesterite.com, this expo features hundreds of tables, including breed rescues, shelters, animal welfare organizations and more. It's a see and be seen event for you and your dog to attend, but one that benefits ALL types of animals.

This family-friendly day includes an adoptable dog parade, contests, rabies clinic and low-cost microchipping, live music, a doggie water park, a cat photo contest, speakers, vendors, shows and food. It's a wonderful day for you and your leashed pet.
