The rural rover might love his backyard, but our city dogs have it made. They wake up to the unrivaled sky-high views of the Tower, experience the new sights and sounds of downtown, and explore the green meadows of the Common all in a day’s walk.

But the best treat of all for our four-legged friends is the La Vie BarkFest happening outside Millennium Tower on Wednesday, September 27. Grab a leash and bring the pups downstairs for a Baroo social full of playtime, treats, and drinks for both humans and pets. Or show off your dog’s obedience in a training challenge hosted by Urban Hound, and reward your furry friends with delicious treats from Polka Dog Bakery. There will even be time for professional photo ops and live painting portraits, starring your pooch.

All of Boston’s best grooming, training, and walking services will be there and your pampered pups will have a tail-wagging good time.

Event sponsors include Baroo, Urban Hound, Boston Fetch, Polka Dog Bakery, Last Hope K9 Rescue, and Lauren Perron of JJArtworks.
