Get ready for a tail-wagging good time at the Fido Fair (11am – 2pm), where you and your four- legged friend can explore a paw-some array of dog-related products. From gourmet treats to stylish accessories, it’s a canine paradise you won’t want to miss! There will also be a Pack Walk (check in at 10:45am, walk @ 11am), a structured walk with the experts that will show you how to properly communicate with your dog in a way that he/she understands using various tools, your energy, and body language. 

And that’s not all! There will also be a costume contest, canine showcase featuring OPD dogs demo and more, the crowning of Ottawa’s Top Dogs, and canine carnival games for dogs and owners alike.

Bill’s Barktoberfest honors Bill Walsh Sr. and his legacy with the Ottawa community. All proceeds benefit Bill’s Barking Lot (dog park located at 401 E Lafayette St). Check out the Barktoberfest Facebook page for more info!
