Fifth Annual Fur the Love Pet Fest
Sat Feb 15, 11:00 AM - Sat Feb 15, 3:00 PM

This year is all about retro vibes with nostalgic music, classic beach games, local pet and people vendors and pet-friendly activities that earned the much-anticipated event Silver in Fort Lauderdale Magazine’s 2024 Readers Poll.

Once again hosted by the dynamic mom and pup duo behind the award-winning Instagram @TourwithTeddy and blog "Living A Fairytail," guests can expect a far-out day filled with excitement and memorable moments. Profits from the event will benefit upcoming pet-friendly experiences at The LOOP in 2025.

Pack a beach blanket, sunscreen and the best retro beach threads for an outta-sight time. Whether it's bell bottoms or a polka dot bikini, hip guests can come dressed in style and ready to strut their stuff with their funky fur friend by their side.

Admission is free, with pre-registered children under 18 and pets receiving an FTLBeach keepsake beach ball, which supplies last. VIP tickets are also available for $10, which includes admission, one (1) Wristband for Good Times Roll Photo Bus, (1) Beach Blanket Bingo Card for Prizes from Select Vendors and (3) Raffle Tickets and Entry for a Grand Prize Package.
