Miami, Florida Pet Event

April 4: 1:00 PM – 4:00 PM.

InterContinental Miami
100 Chopin Plz, Miami

Annual large-scale dog celebration with play zones, treats, DJs, and vendor booths.

The fifth annual Paws Patio Food Fest turns InterContinental Miami into a dog-friendly social scene, bringing together local pet vendors, playful pups and their humans for an afternoon of treats and tail wags.

Designed as a casual outdoor gathering, the event invites guests to pick up a pup passport and explore offerings from local dog treat makers, bakeries and pet-focused brands. Dogs can enjoy tastings and playtime, while their humans sip cocktails from the cash bar and mingle along the hotel’s waterfront patio. Hosted by Pretzel & Gummy Bear Shih-Tzu, the afternoon emphasizes community, photo-worthy moments and easygoing fun for four-legged guests.

Admission is free for humans, with a ticket required for dogs. Each dog ticket includes a swag bag, photo opportunity and access to the event’s activities and vendor experiences. The Paws Patio Food Fest offers a relaxed way to celebrate Miami’s pet-loving culture in a downtown setting.
