🌺 Aloha, Bay Area Chows!
Ohana Chow Fest 2025 is almost here! Join us for a tropical afternoon of Chows, treats, games, and community on Saturday, August 2nd from 11:30 AM to 1:30 PM at Stern Grove Dog Park (100 Vale Ave, SF).
Here's what's planned:
🐢 Turtle Hunt
We're starting off with our first-ever turtle hunt! Tiny turtles will be hidden throughout the park - some come with instant prizes, and a lucky few will earn you a spot in our Island Bites Board Challenge. Every turtle is yours to keep, win or not. They make adorable keepsakes and look great as plant decor or shelf buddies - a fun reminder of your day at Chow Fest.
🥥 Island Bites Challenge (Audience-Voted)
You'll create a snack board for your Chow using treats we provide, then let your pup work for it! The crowd will vote for their favorites in three categories:
• Best Manners
• Fastest Eater
• Most Dramatic Chow
Winners will go home with prize baskets filled with goodies.
📸 Tiki Bar + Photo Op
Stop by our mini tiki bar and snap a photo.
We'll also be taking our big group photo with everyone wearing their leis. Don't miss it!
🎁 Goodie Bags + Sponsored Treats
Huge thanks to The Bear & The Rat, The New Zealand Natural Pet Food Co., and Pezzy Pets for helping us spoil your pups. Chow attendees will receive complimentary treats and swag bags while supplies last.
🍽️ Malasadas, Light Snacks + Merch
Enjoy sweet bites and browse exclusive Chow Fest merch available only at the event.
🕯️ Ho'omana'o Corner (In Loving Memory)
We'll have a quiet space to honor the Chows we've lost. Bring a photo if you'd like, or simply stop by to reflect. They'll always be part of our Chow Fest 'ohana.
🚗 Free Street Parking
When you arrive, check in to grab your name tag, pick up your lei, and mingle with other Chow lovers.
