Singapore Dog Festival 2026 will return to Palawan Green at Sentosa from 16 October to 1 November 2026, bringing dogs, their owners, pet brands and the wider community together for a three-weekend celebration designed around man’s best friend.
Presented by Income Insurance, this year’s festival has been reimagined as a dog first experience where dogs take centre stage. Visitors can look forward to activities focused on play, exploration, socialising and spending time together, with around 30 local and regional brands taking part.
The festival will feature shopping, food and refreshments, stage programmes, live entertainment, interactive experiences and fringe activities. Set within Sentosa’s pet friendly surroundings, visitors can also extend their visit into a pet friendly getaway, with beaches, accommodation and F&B options available across the island.
The festival’s concept is inspired by the way dogs experience the world through their senses and natural curiosity. Six Giant Pups form the creative centre of the event, with the festival environment designed around the ways dogs explore, sniff, play and interact with their surroundings.
One of the main attractions will be a giant playscape designed as a sensory garden. Built around the idea of a colossal backyard adventure, the space will feature oversized flowers, winding pathways and areas where dogs can explore through movement, scent and curiosity.
The festival stage will host expert talks, demonstrations, interactive sessions and community programmes throughout the event. Evening visitors can also relax with their dogs while enjoying live entertainment.
A curated marketplace will bring together established pet brands, independent businesses and artisan makers, alongside lifestyle products and festival exclusives. Around 30 local and regional brands will offer dog food and treats, apparel, accessories, grooming and wellness products, lifestyle goods and other pet related items.
Visitors can also take a break at the Food Village, which will feature food and refreshments for humans, along with dog friendly treats and refreshments for their four-legged companions.
With the festival taking place in October and November, a Halloween Parade will invite dogs and their owners to dress up for a family friendly celebration. The festival grounds will feature Halloween decorations and seasonal touches, adding to the atmosphere.
Complimentary festival goodie bags containing products, treats, samples and other surprises from participating brands will also be available. Sentosa Islander members can redeem a Festival Goodie Bag voucher through the MySentosa app. Only 300 goodie bags will be available for redemption each day, while stocks last.
Movie screenings will take place every Friday evening, while rotating fringe activities across different weekends will include face painting, jagua tattoos and glitter tattoos.
Sentosa’s pet friendly facilities also allow visitors to turn their festival trip into a longer getaway with their dogs. Pet friendly beaches, accommodation and F&B options across the island provide additional activities outside the festival grounds.
