RUFF NEWS TO SHARE WITH OUR PETPALOOZA FANS!
We recognize there is a lot of uncertainty around COVID-19 and we hope everyone is staying healthy and safe in these unprecedented times. The City of Auburn has had to close many facilities and park spaces related to this global pandemic.
It is with a heavy heart that we must inform you that Auburn’s Petpalooza 2020, scheduled for Saturday, May 16, 2020, has been CANCELLED. The past few weeks have been a whirlwind responding to the impacts of COVID-19.
We’ve had many difficult conversations and brainstorming meetings, but have ultimately come to the difficult decision to cancel Auburn’s Petpalooza 2020, which was planned for Saturday, May 16. The decision was not made lightly, but we ultimately feel this is in the best interest of our community and those involved in the festival.
All our vendors and service providers have been notified and they are taking the news in stride as we all work together to flatten the curve in our region (and across the world).
A small piece of paws-itive news: we are working to reschedule the Dog Trot 3K/5K Fun Run portion of the event to the Fall of 2020. Stay tuned for more information about this component of the event!
Since 2008, Auburn’s Petpalooza has been a bright spot for thousands of animal lovers and their furry companions. Although we cannot celebrate together this year, please know that we’re committed to future festivals and look forward to Auburn’s Petpalooza 2021.

In the meantime, we are working with our paw-some sponsors, vendors, non-profit organizations and rescues to continue to promote their services through our Petpalooza Facebook page. Please make sure to follow us there as we continue online to bring you the best of Petpalooza.
We also want to recognize our 2020 Petpalooza sponsors. We are so thankful for the continued support of these amazing businesses and organizations. We encourage you to visit them and support them online during this time.
It is important to stay optimistic and remember that Auburn’s Petpalooza will be there for you and all our furry friends now and in the coming years. Please, stay safe and healthy! We will get through this together!
