The Celebrate Petworth Festival is on hiatus this year (the organizers are taking a breather, considering the cost and effort involved in putting on the huge street festival). After getting feedback from the neighborhood, the Uptown Community Initiative has put together other events throughout the year to help us celebrate Petworth and our great neighborhood.

This furbulously fashioned pup can win any and all prizes.

⭐️ Volunteers Needed! ⭐️

Volunteers are needed for the dog show and contest. If you are interested in helping to make this fun event happen, please contact info@petworthmainstreet.com.

Everyone cheers for repeat winner Betty!
