About

The12th Annual Pet Rock Festival will take place Sunday, Sept. 12, 2010 [raindate, Sept. 19] from noon to 5 p.m., at Quinsigamond Community College, 670West Boylston St., Worcester. Tickets: $12 adults, $5 kids.

This year, PH Productions brings us an impressive lineup of Boston based rock and roll to kick up the musical part of this massive animal benefit.

Pet Rock is the largest animal expo on the East Coast. A daylong festival of fundraising fun for the entire family, including your dog, Pet Rock’s primary purpose is to promote responsible pet ownership, bring attention to animal cruelty and educate humans on a variety of animal related issues. Proceeds benefit New England animal welfare organizations. Pet Rock has given tens of thousands to worthy charities, including the Sterling Animal Shelter, the ASPCABird Program, Foster Parrots, Humane Society of the US: Youth, NEADS, theMSPCA, Animal Legal Defense Fund, Mass Vest A Dog, Commonwealth Cats, Echo Dog and many more.

But the focus is on fun, too. Pet Rock Fest boasts live music, vendors, a foodcourt sponsored by the Boston Vegetarian Society, a “kind kids” booth, disc dog performances, speakers, Clifford the Big Red Dog, games, prizes, raffles,speakers, rides and more than 200 breed rescues, shelters and animal welfare organizations.

The musical lineup is stellar, too, focusing on a star-packed punch of regional artists who started with big hits in the ‘80s, and are still cranking today.Headliners include: Michael Cordings, Bruce Marshall, Charlie Farren and Jon Butcher, Grace Kelly, Doug Bell and Friends, Jon Macey and Steve Gilligan and special guests.

But at Pet Rock, your pet is the star of the day (your dog is more than welcome,but for safety reasons we ask that other pets stay home). There are contests, rabies clinic, doggie massages, amateur dog show (with categories such as“owner-dog look alike” and “best vocalist”), New England Frisbee Dog Group, adoptable pet parade with prizes for participating rescues, professional portraits of your pet, cat photo contest and the popular doggie water park.
