Tails is Town is a brand new City of Hendersonville event that is the result of a partnership with WTZQ’s Barq in the Parq. The festival will serve as an opportunity for folks to give back to the local organizations that contribute to our community’s animal welfare.
Staged in the Historic Seventh Avenue District along Maple Street and adjacent to the historic train depot in downtown Hendersonville, Tails in Town will offer a unique blend of activities that target learning, shopping, eating and gathering with furry friends. Unlike anything currently offered in Henderson County, the day will kick off with a Strut Your Mutt 5k and follow with a plethora of pooches and a flurry of furry action.
The latest and greatest in products to hit the pet market will be on show in what can only be described as a dog’s dream with exhibitors, doggy cooling stations, and educational sessions. The best in technology, health care, food, toys, grooming, therapy, education, and accessories are set to have guests walking away with armfuls of doggy bags, loads of exclusive show specials, and stacks of great gift ideas to reward their friends with tails.
It’s the ultimate day out for dog Lovers of all ages and a once-a-year opportunity to celebrate the companionship, unconditional love, and joy that our furry friends bring to our lives. So if you love them as much as we do then join us to celebrate, connect, and learn more about our best friends with tails.
The festivities begin at 8:00 am on Saturday, July 28th, and continue through 2:00 pm along Hendersonville’s Historic Seventh Avenue District. The Strut Your Mutt Casual 5k will also take place starting at 8:00 am.
