Singapore Dog Festival returns to Palawan Green at Sentosa from 17 October to 1 November 2026 with sensory play, live entertainment, a pet marketplace, Halloween activities and more for dogs and the people who love them.

Singapore Dog Festival 2026 is putting dogs at the centre of the experience when it returns for its third edition at Palawan Green, Sentosa.

Built around play, enrichment, discovery and connection, the festival gives dogs opportunities to sniff, explore and socialise alongside their humans through a dedicated playscape, activities and shared experiences.

Visitors can also look forward to live entertainment, a curated marketplace, food and drinks for humans and dogs, festival goodie bags and Halloween-themed activities towards the end of October.

You don’t need to own or bring a dog to attend either — dog lovers and families are welcome to join the festival.

Highlights of Singapore Dog Festival 2026

Explore a giant sensory garden: The Dogs First Playscape becomes a Colossal Sensory Garden featuring oversized flowers, winding pathways and spaces designed around the way dogs experience their surroundings.

Catch live programmes and entertainment: Look out for expert talks, demonstrations, interactive sessions and community activities during the day, followed by live entertainment as evening arrives.

Shop for your pup: Browse a curated marketplace of local and regional brands offering pet apparel, accessories, grooming and wellness products, treats and other finds for dogs and their humans.

Eat together: Dedicated F&B offerings cater to both humans and dogs, including dog-friendly treats, snacks and refreshments.

Celebrate Halloween together: From 30 October to 1 November, the festival introduces family-friendly Halloween activities for dogs, children and pawrents, with costumes and seasonal experiences designed to be playful rather than frightening.

Join the Mardi Gras Parade: Dogs and their humans can dress up for a colourful finale-weekend procession combining costumes, community spirit and Halloween fun.

Our Take

The most interesting thing about Singapore Dog Festival 2026 is its emphasis on creating an experience for dogs rather than simply surrounding them with things for their humans to buy.

The sensory playscape gives pups something to actually explore, while the combination of entertainment, shopping and dog-friendly food should make it easier for owners to turn the festival into a proper outing together.

You don’t need a canine companion of your own to attend, so it could also be a fun option for families and anyone who simply enjoys being around dogs. Those who enjoy dressing up their pups may want to save the final Halloween weekend in particular.
