Barkfest is Dubai’s much-loved dog-friendly Christmas beach festival, celebrating the bond between pets and people with a full day of festive fun, beach vibes, and tail wags.
Held at Barasti on Saturday 13 December, the event brings together thousands of pet lovers for live music, carols, a tree-lighting ceremony, dog show, splash zone, off-leash play areas, kids’ activities, and a festive market — all set against the stunning beachfront backdrop.

As part of the Feastival series of pet-friendly experiences, Barkfest creates a joyful community hub for families, pet owners, and brands to connect.
