Pet Rock Fest Announces Venue For 20th Annual Festival

NORTH GRAFTON, MA—Pet Rock Fest announced with the enthusiasm of a newborn kitten that the 20th annual festival will return to the field at Wyman-Gordon in North Grafton. Festival fans, supporters, sponsors, and participants overwhelmingly responded with positive feedback about the new venue.

This annual event will be held on Sunday, Sept. 9, 2018, from noon to 5 p.m. on the grounds of the Wyman-Gordon plant, 244 Worcester St., North Grafton. With a return to this centrally-located and expansive venue, the event is sure to expand in numerous ways, drawing more attendees and participants.

The event features all of the popular attractions, but will include additions to our offerings: from food to vendors to events to nonprofit participation. And, of course, Pet Rock Fest continues to put the spotlight on the animal welfare organizations of New England that work hard to promote kindness to animals.
Wyman-Gordon is eager to host the fest, and is welcoming Pet Rock Fest enthusiastically, as is the town of Grafton. Located conveniently to the Mass. Pike, Route 30, Route 146 and Route 122, the venue is super accessible from points east, west, north and south. Also, the venue offers a large, grassy, fenced-in event area, and thousands of parking spaces right on the premises. It is ideal for both people and animals.

There is plenty of space, and beyond, to bring back all of our attractions, including K9 demos, an agility course, the Pups In The Air Frisbee dog team, live music, the Pet Parade, kids activities, Cat Photo Contest, Amateur Dog Contest, vegetarian vendors and our wonderful sponsors and animal welfare organizations.

Pet Rock Fest features live music, performances and games for kids, author signings, Pups in the Air Frisbee Dog Team, doggie massages, photos of your pets, animal mascots, vegetarian food court, games for kids, contests for dogs, a cat photo contest, doggie massages, a doggie water park, demonstrations, exhibits, vendors and, most importantly, hundreds of nonprofit groups devoted to animal welfare causes. All animals.
Pet Rock Fest gives its proceeds to worthy animal related charities that support a variety of causes, from shelters to law reform to farm animal sanctuaries.
