Guests can also enjoy a variety of food options from food trucks, shop from local vendors, and take part in family-friendly games and photo opportunities.

The event is supported by the BISSELL Pet Foundation’s Empty the Shelters campaign, which runs from May 1 to May 15 and covers adoption fees to help more pets find loving homes.

“This event brings the community together to support animal welfare while offering fun, engaging ways to connect with adoptable pets,” said Terry Kebschull, Director of El Paso Animal Services. “We’re thankful to our partners and participants who continue to help make this event a success.”
