Barkitecture
Triangle Barkitecture takes over Downtown Cary Park with custom pet architecture, adoptable animals, and a full day of tail-wagging fun to support local rescues.
This pet architecture competition features over 20 unique builds by architects and designers from the Triangle, all up for auction with proceeds benefiting Hope Animal Rescue, Connie’s Kittens, Paws for Life NC, and German Shepard Rescue & Adoption.
Enjoy activities like the Kitten Cuddle Room by Connie’s Kittens, a free Howl-o-Ween Pet Costume Contest, a pet food and litter donation drive for SAFE Haven for Cats, live music, local vendors, and adoptable pets from over twelve rescues, and more!
Admission is free, and leashed pets are welcome to join the fun! Visit their website for additional information.
