The Village at Shirlington is holding a fun, outdoor celebration of pets on Saturday, Aug. 24 from 11:00 am to 4:00 pm.
Wags n’ Whiskers is a community-oriented event for animal loving shoppers of all ages and their pets to spend an afternoon with like-minded animal lovers. There will be more than 50 exhibitors onsite ranging from pet services and accessories to onsite adoptions.
For entertainment, there will be pet photos for $5, live music, demonstrations and children’s activities such as face painting, balloon art, strolling entertainment and more.
