Corgi Fest
No one, absolutely no one, can resist the short-statured, nubby-tailed, nugget-of-adorableness that is a corgi. And hundreds of corgis in one place? That's a little slice of canine heaven. Join Erie-area corgi enthusiasts at Frontier Park this August for a celebration of this heart-capturing breed.

SUNDAY, AUG. 11

Calling all corgi owners, corgi lovers, and corgi admirers — we've got the perfect festival for you. Frontier Park will be welcoming Corgi Fest back to its grounds after a one-year hiatus, and this year is set to be better than ever.

With more than 320 corgis and their humans anticipated to be in attendance, this festival will be a corgi lover's dream. Owners and their corgis as well as other attendees are invited to visit vendors, food trucks, photo booths, and check out festival merch throughout the day.

The event will open at 10 a.m., with an array of goods available from the 16 vendors and food trucks. Just some of the participating vendors are Hanging with the Corgis, Corgasaur, Wally Sue's Main Squeeze, Sundae Gourmet Vegan Dessert & Ice Cream, Paddy Wack Snack Shack, and more.

The event will also feature a costume contest and corgi races before wrapping up the day with a group photo of all corgis and their owners and the announcement of raffle giveaway winners.

Registration and ticket purchase must be completed online prior to entrance to the event, but day-of registration will be available. When registering, be sure to fill in the required forms and waiver necessary for attending the event, available on the site.

Consider a donation to LEAF (Lake Erie Arboretum at Frontier) during Erie Gives Day by visiting eriegives.org

10 a.m. to 4 p.m. // Frontier Park, 1501 W. 6th St. // $15 per ticket (corgis and young children free) // For tickets and info: corgifest.com.
