"Beacon Barks!" — the first annual Animal Shelter Appreciation Day — will be held Saturday, June 2 in the City of Beacon, N.Y.
The street fair will be in the revitalized downtown area of Main Street and will begin with a parade of companion canines at 11 a.m. at Bank Square.
The festival will continue until 4 p.m. The rain date is Sunday, June 3.
The day will also feature an agility demonstration, a dog wash and a concert starring Murray Weinstock of dogtunes.com. Shopping specials will be available at participating stores throughout the afternoon.
Rescued dogs will be available for adoption from the Dutchess County SPCA, Animal Rescue Foundation and the Putnam Humane Society.
"This is a wonderful opportunity to spend an afternoon with your best friend in a dog-friendly town," said Joyce Garrity, DCSPCA's executive director. "Beacon is really rolling out the red carpet for local animal shelters, and we are very proud to help host the first annual Beacon Barks!"
