The annual Pet Expo extravaganza is set to return for the second time as part of the vibrant Whittlesea Community Festival in March.

The event will be a bustling hub of pet-centric activities and informative stalls tailored to cater to every pet’s need.

Whittlesea chair administrator Lydia Wilson said pets play a vital role in the lives of residents, improving wellbeing and taking their place as important family members.

“Our pets are a beloved part of our family, and we know from the positive feedback we received after last year’s inaugural Pet Expo that this feature of our Community Festival is sure to be a popular place for pet lovers,“ she said.

“In addition to the jam-packed Pet Expo, there is so much to see and do at the Community Festival, from performers live on stage, free family activities and the announcement of the recipients of our Community Awards.”

Dog obedience and training demonstrations will also occur.

There will also be booths promoting pet adoption along with The Pony Pals Playland where kids can pat and groom miniature ponies.

The festival will be held on Sunday, March 17, from 10am to 5pm, at Civic Centre, Terrace Lawns, 25 Ferres Boulevard, South Morang.
