Get ready for doggie contests and treats, games, activities, food and drink, and unbeatable community spirit. DOGFEST is back! 

Come on down to Duboce Park on Saturday April 26 from 11AM – 3PM to meet our Mutts and awesome volunteers! 

DogFest is a celebration of dogs, families, community, and spring in San Francisco. It’s also a charitable event that raises funds for McKinley Elementary – a small public school in the neighborhood. 

DogFest attendees can expect nonstop fun and games. The park fills with carnival-style games staffed by McKinley students, while at the top end jumping castles keep the little ones busy. Dogs are the star of the event, of course, with a daylong show and contest. Food trucks ensure that everyone is well fed, while the book fair, merchant stalls, and the doggie adoption zone provide wonderful ways to support the community.

McKinley Elementary School PTA:

The PTA’s purpose is to make every child’s potential a reality by engaging and empowering families and communities to advocate for all children. 

Through McKinley’s PTA, we balance fundraising to help supplement our children’s educational experience with events to build our community. At McKinley, “ALL our children are all OUR children.” 

The money raised by the PTA supplements the school site budget so that McKinley can offer arts enrichment, extra staffing (i.e., class-size reduction teacher in the upper grades), staff to provide lunchtime & recess support, school supplies, gardening projects, and a number of school-wide events.
