Pop-Up Pooch Party
Hanlon Park
Updated: May 20, 2025
If you’re a dog lover, fur-parent, or one of the goodest boys and girls, get your leads ready! Brisbane’s ultimate dog festival, Pop-Up Pooch Party, will have tails wagging at a fun-filled celebration of our beloved canines at Hanlon Park, Stones Corner, on Sunday June 15.

Perfect for dog-owners, dog-lovers, and paw-rents looking for a memorable day out, there will be something for everyone – market & food stalls, kids' activities, talks, workshops, behavioural sessions, pamper stations, live entertainment, off-leash dog area, DIY doggy bandana and badge making space, even a Puppy Cuddle Zone that is sure to make hearts implode.

You can discover the latest gadgets, nutrition, health, sustainable products & toys, learn about what RSPCA Qld do, purchase a raffle ticket, and chat about adoptions. There will also be food trucks, Scout’s sausage sizzle, puppy ice cream and puppuccinos.

Bring your Muster Dogs questions for a live Q&A with Nathan and his Border Collie Chief from 10am, before joining them for signings and a meet & greet. Alisha Todd will be performing and Chase from Paw Patrol will be making a special appearance for our littlest dog lovers.

Be sure to visit The Workshop later in the day to see who will be crowned by the RSPCA in their highly-coveted competitions including waggiest tail and best behaved (aka goodest boy or girl), as well as the Next Top Pooch Model Search.

You don’t even need to have a dog with you to be showered in puppy cuddles and kisses in the purpose-built Cuddle-a-Puppy area.
