The Marine Village at Sanctuary Cove will become a pet lover’s paradise on Sunday March 4 as the annual Paws & Pizzazz festival hits town bringing with it a free, pet-friendly program of fun and education for you and your fur babies.

There will be pet-specific exhibitors including demonstrations, displays and presentations outlining everything a loving pet owner could and should know to keep their four-legged family members healthy and happy. There will be a Pet Photo Booth to snap the perfect Insta-pic and if you reckon your furry friend is a cut above the rest, enter them in the Pet Competitions. There are a swag of sweet prizes up for grabs across a variety of categories including best dressed and waggiest tail.

Paws and Pizzazz also offers plenty to keep the little ones amused including Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary’s Mini Monsters show that will give them the opportunity to get up close and personal with some of Australia’s hairiest and scariest animals. Afterwards, take a seat at one of The Marine Village’s pet-friendly cafes for a much-needed puppy-chino.

Paws & Pizzazz is a free family and pet-friendly event that will be staged in The Docks and The Village Green precincts of The Marine Village.
