At Golden Paws Pet Resort, we love seeing our furry friends and their families out and about, enjoying local events together. That’s why we’re excited to tell you about Fur Baby Fest 3—a fantastic pet-friendly festival happening right in our community. Whether you’re looking to meet other pet lovers or just have a blast with your pup, this event is one you won’t want to miss!
The best part is you’ll be supporting Friends of the Burlington County Animal Shelter, an all-volunteer 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that works in cooperation with the county animal shelter to care for shelter pets and place them into adoptive homes. Founded in 2010, the group also works to reduce the number of homeless pets in the community by sponsoring low-cost spay-neuter surgeries.
Fur Baby Fest 3 promises to be the biggest pet-friendly food, music, and adoption festival of the year. Mark your calendars for April 19th from Noon to 5:30 PM at the Burlington County Fairgrounds for a day packed with fun for the whole family—including your fur babies. Don’t forget to bring a pet costume if you’d like to join the costume contest!
New This Year
This year, Fur Baby Fest is more family-friendly and affordable than ever. All children 10 and under get in FREE, making it the perfect event for pet-loving families. Get your Advanced FASTPASS tickets for just $4.85, or grab them at the door for $7. Discounts are available for veterans (with ID) and seniors (70+).
Festival Highlights
There’s something for everyone at Fur Baby Fest! Enjoy more than 10 food vendors, live music, and plenty of entertainment for both pets and people. Kids will love the face painting and games, while dog lovers can check out the doggie agility course or enter their pup in the pet costume contest at 4 PM. Plus, browse a variety of vendors offering products for both pets and their humans.
Supporting a Paw-some Cause
Fur Baby Fest isn’t just about fun—it’s also about giving back. Portions of the proceeds and alcohol sales will benefit the Friends of the Burlington County Animal Shelter, helping to find forever homes for local rescue pets.
Join the Celebration
After a long winter, the festival is the perfect way to enjoy amazing food, shop local vendors, sip refreshing drinks, and groove to some of the best live music in NJ. Bring your lawn chairs, blankets, and of course, your furry friends for an unforgettable day of fun and community!
Before You Go
Don’t forget to check for weather updates before you head out the door. It’s also a good idea to bring along waste bags and your dog’s collapsible water bowl.

If your pup could use a refresher on social skills, consider booking a full or half-day group play session in our Golden Paws doggie daycare program. Under the watchful care of our experienced, pet-loving staff, your dog can practice making friends, gain confidence in new environments, and enjoy safe, structured socialization. While you’re at it, you can also schedule a grooming appointment at our spa to help them look their best before you hit the town!
We hope to see you soon at Golden Paws and on April 19th at Fur Baby Fest 3!
