You will not want to miss the pet costume contest, food trucks, beer garden, pet-friendly vendors and so much more. This annual event is a staple here in Orlando because Paws in the Park allows community members to connect, respect and grow a mutual understanding of each other.

It is also okay if you do not have a fur baby. There is an opportunity to adopt, spend some one-on-one time and have a good time overall.
