Winter Pet Festival Brings Holiday Cheer to Lake Las Vegas

The holiday season doesn’t have to end when the decorations come down. On December 28, The Perfect Paws is hosting the Winter Pet Festival, a free, family-friendly event designed to close out the year with wagging tails, local vendors, and a strong dose of community spirit. Set against the scenic backdrop of the Village at Lake Las Vegas, this festive afternoon invites pet lovers to gather, explore, and celebrate dogs in true Southern Nevada style.

Running from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., the event blends playful holiday fun with meaningful local impact — making it an easy “yes” for families, dog owners, and anyone looking for something feel-good to do between Christmas and New Year’s.

What to Expect at the Festival

The Winter Pet Festival is built for relaxed fun, not rushing from booth to booth. Guests can enjoy face painting, interactive games, and photo opportunities with a holiday snowman — perfect for capturing end-of-year memories with your pup. Complimentary goodie bags will be available while supplies last, adding an extra layer of excitement for both two- and four-legged attendees.

The setting at Lake Las Vegas offers plenty of space to stroll, socialize, and soak in the festive atmosphere, making it ideal for dogs who enjoy being out and about with their people.

Shop Local, Support Rescue

One of the heartbeats of this event is its commitment to giving back. All vendor fees from the Winter Pet Festival are being donated to Vegas Roots Rescue, directly supporting local rescue efforts and dogs in need.

A curated lineup of vendors — including The Perfect Paws, Simply Sweets by Dizzy, Rogue Toys, Vegas Fantasy Faces, and Pretty Paws — will be on-site offering unique pet products, treats, and creative finds. As an added perk, purchases made during the event come with a 15% off coupon to Sonrisa Grill, giving guests another reason to linger, snack, and enjoy the afternoon.

Event Details

The Winter Pet Festival takes place at the Village at Lake Las Vegas, located at 45 Via Brianza, Suite 110, in Henderson. The event is free to attend and welcomes families and well-socialized dogs.
