REGION – The Pet Rock Festival is seeking a new home.
After spending last year at SAC Park in Shrewsbury, and after several years on the Wyman-Gordon grounds in Grafton, the pet welfare organization wants to find a permanent home.
The festival has been held since 1999, usually on the second Sunday in September. It features more than 150 animal welfare organizations, live music, vendors, vegetarian food, contests, a doggie water park, awards, performances and more.
Proceeds from the festival are distributed to New England-based animal welfare organizations, including shelters, sanctuaries and rescue leagues.
Organizers said they hoped to find a location similar in size to SAC Park, with a large, fenced-in field, accessible from major highways or routes, and ample parking.
Suggestions on new locations may be emailed to [email protected].
