Last Updated 3/20/2026

Furry Friends Festival Returns August 29! 🐾

Mark your calendars for Saturday, August 29 from 9 AM to 1 PM and get ready for a tail-wagging good time in Downtown Ortonville!

Bring your pup and join us for a fun-filled day celebrating our four-legged friends and the pet-loving community that makes our downtown so special.

Free admission—just bring your contained or leashed pet  and come enjoy the day.

🐶 What to Expect:

  • Adoptable animals looking for their forever homes

    A pet photographer to capture your best moments

  • On-site dog trainers sharing tips and guidance

  • Pet service providers and local experts

  • Specialty treats, toys, and pet-themed merchandise

  • Drawings and giveaways throughout the event

We’re proud to partner with K-9 Stray Rescue League, helping connect animals with loving homes while bringing valuable resources to our community.

As a Better Cities for Pets–designated Pet-Friendly Downtown, Ortonville is the perfect place to celebrate the pets who are part of our families—and our community.

Whether you’re a dog owner, animal lover, or just looking for a great way to spend a summer morning, this is an event you won’t want to miss.

👉 Want a sneak peek? Take a look at highlights from last year’s event and see why this has quickly become a local favorite.
