2700 Ninth Street, Berkeley, CA

Join Berkeley Humane for one of the Bay Area’s most beloved pet-friendly community events! Bark (& Meow) Around the Block returns with a day dedicated to helping adoptable animals find loving homes while bringing together animal lovers, families, local businesses, and rescue organizations for a fun-filled street fair.

Guests can meet adoptable dogs and cats from local rescue groups, enjoy live music, explore family-friendly activities, and sample delicious food and drinks throughout the day. This year’s event is combined with the nationally recognized Clear the Shelters campaign, creating even more opportunities for animals to connect with their future families.

With an expected attendance of 2,500–3,000 guests and live broadcasting from NBC Bay Area, Bark (& Meow) Around the Block promises to be one of the largest pet adoption events in the region.

Whether you’re looking to adopt, support local rescues, or simply enjoy a day celebrating the human-animal bond, this is an event you won’t want to miss.

🐾 Admission is free and all are welcome!
