Following the success of their "May the Fourth Be With You" markets at Benowa, as well as their other markets this year, the Dogs on the Green team is excited to announce a mid-winter doggie Christmas celebration!
This festive event will be held at Broadwater Parklands on Saturday, July 26th.
Due to incredible organic growth, they're thrilled to announce that for the first time ever, the event will be held at the stunning Fisherman's Lawn at the Broadwater Parklands. This fantastic new location is right next to the enormous Peninsular children's playground, making it even more convenient and enjoyable for everyone.
The markets offer free entry and are open from 8:30 AM to 2:00 PM.
You can expect approximately 80 dog-related vendors and clubs, along with the Council Animal Management team, coffee vans, and delicious food trucks.
They're excited to announce that a wide variety of canine-related products and services will be showcased at the event.
There will be many more life-enhancing items for dogs on display!
The Dogs on the Green team is organising a charity raffle to support Best Friends Animal Rescue. All proceeds from the raffle will go directly to Best Friends Animal Rescue to assist them in their tireless efforts.
Linda Richards leads the dedicated team at Best Friends Rescue (BFR). They are recognised as the original in-home foster care group in Brisbane and have been rescuing dogs from death row since 2004.
Many dogs currently awaiting new homes have profiles on their website, and some will be at the Best Friends stall at the Dogs on the Green event.
Thanks to generous prize donations from our stallholders, we're able to raise thousands of dollars annually for small, volunteer-run animal charities and rescues.
This year, they'll also have live music, and a special mid-year check-in with all the good boys, girls, and woofers from "Santa Paws" at approximately 10 AM.
“We have stallholders joining us from as far as Gympie, Warwick, and Toowoomba, eager to share their fantastic products with our dog-loving community. The atmosphere is so friendly, and it's wonderful to see all the pampered pooches of every shape and size turn up for the event.
“This year has been very challenging for us with poor weather, a tropical cyclone and tough economic conditions for our stallholders. We are very fortunate to have the support of our incredible stallholders and dedicated fans sticking with us.
We are going all-in with our July markets at the Parklands and can't wait to see many Gold Coast families and their fur babies there!”
The markets began from humble beginnings in Merrimac in 2019 with 30 stalls. Under the stewardship of Rosalie Sulfaro, Dogs on the Green has grown into one of the Gold Coast’s greatest doggie day outs attended by thousands of dog lovers.
Ash and her husband Billy, also known as "The Bin Guy," took over operations last November. They're planning to host four markets on the Gold Coast throughout the year, and an inaugural Brisbane event in late August.
Sponsorship packages and limited stallholder spaces are available for dog related businesses. Some product categories sold out within a day of opening bookings.
