Barkitecture

A pet-focused festival featuring custom dog house auctions, pet costume contests, and animal adoptions.

Triangle Barkitecture takes over Downtown Cary Park with custom pet architecture, adoptable animals and a full day of tail-wagging fun to support local rescues. This pet architecture competition features more than 20 unique builds by architects and designers from the Triangle, all up for auction, with proceeds benefiting Hope Animal Rescue, Connie’s Kittens, Paws for Life NC and German Shepherd Rescue & Adoption. Visitors can enjoy activities such as the Kitten Cuddle Room by Connie’s Kittens, a free Howl-o-Ween Pet Costume Contest, a pet food and litter donation drive for SAFE Haven for Cats, live music, local vendors and adoptable pets from more than 12 rescues, and more! Admission is free, and leashed pets are welcome to join the fun! Visit the website for additional information.
