Pride and puppies

Returning for its third year, Puppy Pride is coming to the Kyneton Botanic Gardens this month.

The annual event is an opportunity for the LGBTIQA+ community, their friends, family, allies – and all dogs big and small – to come together for an afternoon of entertainment.

The free canine-focused event will be hosted this year by celebrity dog-lover and trainer, Farmer Dave, with plenty of activities to keep the whole family entertained, including dog displays and competitions.

Puppy Pride will begin with a dog walk at 11.15am on Sunday, November 17, meeting on the corner of Saint Agnes Place and Mill Street and starting from the outdoor gym on the Campaspe River Walk.

The walking route will finish at the Botanic Gardens, where activities will begin at noon.

Those attending are welcome to bring their own picnics but there will also be a wide selection of local food stalls to enjoy.

The event is hosted by Sunbury and Cobaw Community Health and Daylesford’s ChillOut Festival, with support from Macedon Ranges.

Bookings are not required.
