Due to unforeseen circumstances, the 2024 WAG! Fest, originally scheduled for August 24 at Prairie Oaks Metro Park, has been canceled.

This was not an easy decision, and we are sorry for any disappointment this causes.

Thank you for your past support in making WAG! Fest the biggest event in Ohio helping dogs in need.

Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened. And smile again because you know we'll be back next year!

Yesterday was paws-itively magical. It was the largest crowd we’ve ever seen. Although we’re thrilled with how popular the event has become, we regret that parking became a challenge for some. We have work to do to ensure that the experience is positive for everyone, and we’ll get on it.

In the meantime, we want to say thanks to Metro Parks, our sponsors, and the businesses and dog-serving organizations that made the day so fun. Thanks to all you dog lovers who came looking for the best products, services, and ideas. But most importantly, thanks to the thousands of charming 4-legged friends who provided the enthusiasm, affection, and the “WAG!” that gave us our name.

Until next year, pups!
