One thing about Miami, we love our dogs. No exceptions. From all the dog-friendly establishments and beloved dog beaches to the amount of pets we see strolling around the city, we can’t seem to get enough. Now, canines and their devoted owners can mark their calendars for the ultimate puppy paw-ty on the bay!

The fifth annual Paws Patio Food Fest is back at the InterContinental Miami, celebrating the bond between humans and their four-legged companions for a great cause. It’s a dream come true for pet enthusiasts, offering the chance to mingle with fellow dog lovers, let their pups explore interactive activities, check out a variety of vendors and new products — all while enjoying views overlooking Biscayne Bay.

This year’s celebration is hosted by “executive chefs” and doggie-influencer icons Pretzel and Gummy Bear Shih Tzus. Rescue Paws FL, a local 501(c)(3) nonprofit dog rescue, will also be joining the event to host raffles benefiting their rescue program. Plus, attendees can catch fun giveaways from Chewy’s new food line, Get Real, along with a pop-up activation from Chewy Vet Care.
From unlimited pup cups to savory treats from 10 local vendors, the tail-wagging extravaganza will take place on the hotel’s Picante Terrace (InterContinental Miami is located at 100 Chopin Plaza), so bring your furry friends and join the fun on April 4 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Admission is free for humans and tickets are $22 per pup.
