Get Ready to Wag Your Tail at Wag Fest 2025!
Hey there, Mountlake Terrace friends and furry companions! If you're a dog lover (or even if you're just mildly obsessed with adorable pups), mark your calendars because Wag Fest is bounding into town on September 6, 2025, from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM at the beautiful Evergreen Playfield (22205 56th Ave W, Mountlake Terrace, WA 98043).
This paw-some event is Mountlake Terrace's ultimate celebration of all things canine, and it's guaranteed to be a tail-wagging good time for pups and their humans alike! Hosted by the Mountlake Terrace Chamber of Commerce, Wag Fest is more than just a dog park hangout—it's a full-blown festival designed to bring our community together through the universal language of "Who's a good boy?"
Whether you're a proud pup parent bringing your four-legged family member or a dog enthusiast looking to soak up some serious cuteness, this event has something for everyone. And the best part? It's totally free to attend, so grab your leash and let's dive into what makes Wag Fest the highlight of the year!
### What's on the Agenda? A Day Packed with Paws-itive Vibes!
Wag Fest isn't your average walk in the park—it's a jam-packed schedule of fun activities that will have tails wagging and hearts melting. Here's a sneak peek at what you can expect: - Contests Galore: Strut your stuff (or your pup's) in hilarious and heartwarming competitions! Think "Best Trick," "Cutest Puppy," "Owner-Dog Look-Alike," and maybe even a "Waggiest Tail" showdown.
Prizes? Oh yes—expect treats, toys, and bragging rights that last all year! - Vendors and Goodies: Browse a variety of dog-friendly vendors offering everything from gourmet treats and stylish collars to pet services like grooming and training. Local businesses will be there showcasing their wares, so it's a great chance to support Mountlake Terrace entrepreneurs while spoiling your furry friend. - Treats for All: No doggo leaves hungry! There'll be plenty of free samples, pup-approved snacks, and even some human-friendly food trucks to keep the two-legged attendees fueled up. - Community and Canine Cuteness: Mingle with fellow dog lovers, make new friends (both human and hound), and enjoy the vibrant atmosphere. It's all about building community bonds—after all, nothing unites people like a shared love for dogs! Pro tip: Bring your well-behaved pup on a leash, plenty of water, waste bags, and maybe a blanket for chilling out. The playfield has ample space for romping, but remember to keep an eye on the weather—September in Washington can be unpredictable, so pack sunscreen or a rain jacket just in case.
Why Wag Fest is a Must-Attend for Mountlake Terrace Locals In a world that's sometimes ruff, events like Wag Fest remind us of the simple joys: slobbery kisses, playful zoomies, and the unbreakable bond between pets and people. This festival isn't just fun—it's a way to celebrate our community's spirit and support local causes. Last year's event drew hundreds of attendees and raised awareness for animal welfare, and we're paws-itive 2025 will be even bigger and better! If you're new to Mountlake Terrace or just looking for a feel-good weekend activity, Wag Fest is the perfect outing. It's family-friendly, inclusive, and full of photo ops that will flood your social media with #WagFest2025 vibe
