Beaglefest Returns April 11 with Vendors, Raffles, and a Cause Worth Barking About

One of Las Vegas’ most unique breed-focused events is back this weekend, bringing together dog lovers, local vendors, and rescue supporters for a full afternoon of fun — all while giving back to dogs in need.

Beaglefest 2026 returns on Saturday, April 11 from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM, transforming a private park into “Beagletopia” for a high-energy, community-driven fundraiser benefiting the Southern Nevada Beagle Rescue Foundation.

A “Pawty” with a Purpose

At its core, Beaglefest is about connection — between people, dogs, and the rescue community. For a $5 entry fee (with children under 5 free), attendees get access to an event that blends entertainment with impact.

All proceeds go directly toward supporting rescue dogs, helping fund care, medical needs, and ongoing efforts to find them permanent homes.

With more than 600 attendees at last year’s event, Beaglefest has quickly become a standout on the local dog event calendar.

What to Expect at Beagletopia

This isn’t just a casual meetup — it’s a full-scale outdoor event designed for both humans and their four-legged companions.

Attendees can expect:

• A variety of local vendors
• Food and drinks available onsite
• Live entertainment throughout the day
• Raffles and auction prizes
• Event merchandise and swag
• Swag bags for the first 100 attendees

The event is dog-friendly, with the requirement that all attending dogs are well-behaved, social, vaccinated, and altered, ensuring a safe and enjoyable environment for everyone.

Supporting Southern Nevada Beagle Rescue

The event benefits the Southern Nevada Beagle Rescue Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming beagles and beagle mixes throughout the region.

Like many breed-specific rescues, their work often involves taking in dogs with unique behavioral or medical needs, making community support critical to their mission.

Events like Beaglefest not only raise funds but also increase visibility — helping more people learn about the breed and the ongoing need for rescue and adoption.

Why It’s Worth Attending

Beaglefest strikes a balance that many events aim for: it’s fun, accessible, and purpose-driven. Whether you’re a beagle owner, a dog lover, or simply looking for something different to do this weekend, it offers a way to spend your time while supporting a local cause.

And for those who arrive early, there’s an added bonus — those first 100 attendees will walk away with a swag bag to remember the day.

For Las Vegas dog lovers, it’s a chance to show up, have fun, and make a small but meaningful difference.
