Fido
Fest is a day of fun with your dog that raises funds to support the
programs and services operated by the Humane Society of Flower Mound for
16 years. The dog walk starts at 10:00am and vendor booths will open
immediately after the walk. While there, enjoy the Bow Wow Bistro,
Costume Contest, Photo Booth, Agilty Course, and Dog Games. Watch

dog microchipped if he or she isn’t already, shop our vendor booths,
learn what you can do to help homeless animals…and more!
