Humans are welcome at this new beach festival for pets

Food and music festival people Let’s Go Jalan Jalan’s latest initiative is, quite literally, a pet project. From Jul 20-21, the Palawan Green at Sentosa will become a playground for you and your furry companions at the inaugural Pet Street Gang 2019, where a whole series of dawn to dusk activities await.

Get on your feet by participating in beach challenges and activities, including soft archery, bubble soccer, laser tag and kayaking. Then, recuperate with some well-deserved treats at the festival booths, that caters to both people and pets. Stall vendors for hoomans include Iron Supper Club and Dough Boys, while booths for your furkids include the likes of Chew Time and Big Dog Pet Foods. You and your pet will also be able to shape up together at a pet pilates session, on Jul 20, happening just before sunset.

For those so inclined, enter your pet in a Disney themed photo contest, that’s held on both days. Or, register it for Saturday’s Furkids Dress-Up Contest; both will get you a chance at winning attractive prizes. Don’t have a pet? Take one home—after careful consideration of course. An adoption drive will be located at the festival itself, for those who are able to provide a safe and loving home for the little ones.

They’re also making it easy to get festival-ready, with a Standard Festival Kit ($20) or a VIP Festival Kit ($38) available for pre-purchase. Both kits include a $10 festival coupon, drawstring bag and cooling towel, while the VIP one also includes a customisable nameplate for you and your pet to get creative with, plus a $5 beach voucher.

Keeping things upbeat, expect live performances by local bands such as The Staircase Duo and FingerFunk, so you can jam it out like you don’t care with your best bud.


Pet Street Gang 2019 is held at Palawan Green at Sentosa, 9am-10pm from Jul 20-21. Admission is free.
