Manhattan West Woof Fest: Paws for Pride 2023

Celebrate Pride – a celebration for ALL – including your pets! Come out with your dog to Manhattan West Plaza for a colorful afternoon of amazing performances, fabulous activities, and marvelous treats! Humans and canines alike will enjoy a live program of cabaret entertainment and activities that range from pet tarot readings to rainbow paw-dicures. Attire is encouraged that captures you and your furry friend’s true colors and commemorates Pride. Or pick up a rainbow bandana upon your arrival!

ACTIVITIES INCLUDE:

• Performances by Circus Amok – Be amazed by this NYC-based circus-theatre company that will bring its funny, queer, caustic, and meaningful one-ring spectacles to Woof Fest! Bessie and Obie Award-winning host Jennifer Miller and company will entertain you with comedy, juggling, stilt walking, acrobatics, unicycle riding, and a live band!
• Pup Psychic – See into your dog’s future – or past! Our psychics will perform tarot readings for your pup.
• Pawdicures – Our friendly pet groomers will give your four-legged friend special painted nails for Pride. Using dog-friendly polish, each nail will be painted a different color to make a rainbow!
• Pet Caricatures – Capture your canine at their best with a hand-drawn caricature of your dog, created by our talented artists.
• Photo Moment – Call the pup-a-razzi! Capture an Instagrammable moment, as you and your pup pose alongside a variety of queer icons.
• Plus enjoy a play area, as well as fun giveaways (for dogs and their humans), while supplies last.
