When 2 June
Where Sentosa Cove (green field)
Singapore’s largest outdoor gathering for furkids, pets Picnic Party 2018, returned with a bang for its fifth year running! Organised by pets magazine, in collaboration with our official title sponsor Kakato, over 400 excited paw-rents and 200 furry doggies joined us at Sentosa Cove’s spacious green field for a fun-filled afternoon of games, delicious picnic grub, live music, and shopping.
Thanks to light morning showers, the weather was cool and breezy when the event started promptly at 2.30pm. Eager attendees grabbed their Pet Lovers Centre goodie bag (worth $25.90) and proceeded to lay their picnic mats out against the gorgeous marina backdrop. The first order of the day: to pick up their scrumptious Western food! Picnic-goers enjoyed a choice of chicken steak with cranberry sauce and fries or fish and chips, courtesy of Brunches Cafe. Each participant also received a bag of chicken rice- or laksa- flavoured chips from F.EAST and a bottle of mineral water from Polar. 250 furkids received complimentary premium pet food from Kakato.
While local per formersNing and Jon took to the stage to perform jazzy tunes that set everyone grooving to the beat, fur-milies indulged in some retail therapy at our bustling weekend market, which featured start-ups selling handcrafted jewellery, customised pet portraits, freshly made pet food, trendy pet accessories, and human and pooch-friendly icy treats.
