Dear Bark in the Park Supporters,

Bark in the Park™ San Jose 2020 has been canceled in response the public health concerns brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. Bark in the Park San Jose 2020 is concerned for the safety and health of the human friends that accompany the 3,900 dogs that attend this family friendly festival. The largest dog festival in the United States will return September 18, 2021.

“Bark in the Park takes hundreds of volunteers, vendors, and sponsors to make event happen smoothly and fun for the community,” said John Turner, President of the Campus Community Association, which organizes Bark in the Park. “Keeping public health in mind, and the uncertainty of being able to keep all safe while holding the event, we have decided to postpone until September 18, 2021.”

In the meantime, follow Bark in the Park on Facebook and check out the Bark in the Park website. Meanwhile, visit our sponsors' and our vendors' websites, many of them are essential services, or provide online purchasing and deliveries.
