BarkFest 2021

Last month, QT Canberra teamed up with The Social Dog Company to present Barkfest; a uniquely fun and fundraising dog day that got tails wagging. Over two sessions, we rolled out the red carpet for the Puparazzi to snap VIP arrivals on the media wall.

There were over 25 Dog Stalls for our four legged friends (and their humans) to enjoy, from pop-up bars, to a Doggie Diner, complimentary Doggie tattoos by Central Bark Pet Styling and a Quick Bites Menu from Capitol Bar & Grill.

Picasso pooches in training painted masterpieces at the Puppy Paw-Casso station, Pinot & Picasso held a Paint Your Pooch painting class and drag queens shined in the Drag to the Rescue Parade escorting rescue pups.

Some lucky humans snapped up the best seat in the house on the QT Deck and enjoyed a mouth-watering menu from our Executive Chef, Josh Smith-Thirkell. #foodenvy

A big thank you to our event partners who helped bring the day to life – The Social Dog Company, Central Bark Pet Styling, Grumpy Chlo, Frankie & Emmett, and Petzie.
