Bucharest is set to celebrate the unique bond between humans and dogs with the Hello Doggie Festival: The Gathering, taking place on June 7, 2025, on the picturesque Insula Câinilor (Dog Island) in Titan Park. This vibrant event welcomes families, children, animal lovers, and, of course, their furry friends. Admission is free for everyone!
A Unique Festival for Dog Lovers
Hello Doggie Festival: The Gathering marks the beginning of a new tradition in Bucharest, dedicated to celebrating the special relationship between people and their canine companions. The festival is designed as a joyful gathering, focusing on socialisation, education, relaxation, and community involvement.
What to expect at the festival:
- Interactive activities for dogs and owners to strengthen their bond
- An adoption fair for those looking to welcome a new friend into their home
- Creative workshops for children, teaching them about responsible pet ownership
- Live music, relaxation areas, and plenty of surprises for a perfect day outdoors
Adoption Fair with ASPA: Find Your New Best Friend
A highlight of the festival is the adoption fair organised by ASPA. From 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, visitors can meet friendly, vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, and sterilised (if age-appropriate) dogs, all ready to find loving families. New adopters and their canine companions will also receive special gifts from the event’s partners.
“A Bowl of Goodness” Campaign – Every Visitor Helps Shelter Dogs
The festival also has a charitable side: for every 10 visitors, the organisers, together with Thank’Q and Ramses Association, will donate 1 kg of food to shelter dogs. The goal is to collect at least 300 kg of food, which will be distributed transparently after the event. Each attendee will receive a wristband at the entrance, helping to count participants and maximise the impact.
