The most pet-friendly event in Balboa Park, Bark in the Park, returns for a fourth year to support a worthy cause near and dear to my heart. This Sunday, February 21, San Diego’s Civic Organist Dr. Carol Williams will once again greet a pack of lovable adoptable pets from the San Diego Humane Society with a free concert performed on one of the world’s largest outdoor pipe organs.

 

Featuring a program of lively animal-themed tunes, the concert sets the stage for a show-stopping parade of pooches, many dressed for the occasion. Everyone is welcome to bring their leashed pets to participate, and the fun gets underway at 2:00 p.m. in the Spreckels Organ Pavilion.

 

While all the festivities are presented free of charge, staff members of the San Diego Humane Society will be on hand to collect donations, answer your questions, and facilitate the adoption of pets they have available. Their mobile adoption unit will be in the Park from 12:00 noon until 4:00pm, providing an excellent opportunity to meet some great candidates for adoption.

 

Even if you aren’t looking to adopt, Bark in the Park is sure to put a smile on the face of everyone in your pack.
