The 41st Annual Pet Fair provides ample opportunities for all of your pet cravings, human and animal alike! Best of all, attendees will be supporting their community while enjoying the festivities. Proceeds from the Pet Fair will be donated to the Orlando Science Center to continue to foster curiosity, discovery, innovation and intellectual achievement of all generations throughout the community.

Critters can strut their stuff on the “catwalk” during the new Pet Pageant, plus vendors galore with the tastiest treats and the most stylish pieces of canine couture. The little ones will also be able to have endless fun between the bounce house, kids crafts, Teddy Bear Repair Station and other various activities. Don’t miss performances by Super Dogs, free pet exams and much more!

The competition, which will take place Saturday at 4 p.m., will feature 12 pets.
