FidoFest

FidoFest is an annual summer event full of dog-friendly activities for dog-lovers from across our community. Each event has also featured the unveiling of a public art display that decorates the city’s dog parks. All three Fitzsimmons Family Dog Parks now feature portraits of community members’ pets, painted by the pet owners themselves!
