There’s a Tiny Dog Festival happening in Melbourne. That’s it. That’s the intro.
A lot of wonderful things happen at Welcome to Thornbury. But now Melbourne‘s fun-loving food truck park is throwing perhaps the best and most wholesome festival of all: The Tiny Dog Festival 2019. Our hearts simply cannot take it.

There’ll be all the usual food trucks catering for the humans, but they’ll be joined by some extra-special stalls serving the VIPs with bones and dog treats.
There’ll also be competitions to find Melbourne’s tiniest adult dog and the best-dressed tiny dog, as well as a tiny dog race. If you have a fashion boi or a speedy girl, you can register them for free on the day from 12pm. There are lots of prizes to be won (for you and your pooch).

The answer is yes – dogs are always welcome at Welcome to Thornbury, and all dogs are welcome at this inclusive and love-filled celebration of small doggos.
The Tiny Dog Festival kicks off at midday and the celebrations run until 6pm, and entry is free.
