Welcome to Bark Around the Park, sponsored by Raleigh Parks and Recreation Department! Bark Around the Park began in 1990 as an opportunity for local non-profits and rescue groups to share their information with the public in an attempt to further their cause. The event has grown substantially over the years to include sponsor and vendor exhibits and sales, contests, give-aways, micro-chip and rabies clinics, adoption opportunities, and much more! Thanks to the continued support of the dog community, we just celebrated our 20th event!! The 2009 event was our largest event to date with approximately 70 sponsors/vendors participating and an estimated 3,500 in attendance.
The 2010 event is scheduled for Saturday, April 17th from 12noon-4pm at Millbrook Exchange Park (1905 Spring Forest Road). Our rain date will be Sunday, April 18th.
If you are interested in becoming an event sponsor or vendor, or just interested in bringing your four-legged friend out to have some fun, please visit the links below to learn more about the event.
