Maple Grove locals and their furry companions have a treat in store for them this weekend. The Tails & Ales event is back this spring, promising an afternoon filled with fun, fur, and a fair share of ales at Central Park. Slated for Saturday, May 17, from 2 to 7 p.m., this gathering caters to the whole family, especially the four-legged members.
According to a Facebook post by the City of Maple Grove, MN - Local Government, attendees can look forward to a vendor show where they can peruse and purchase all things canine-related—from gourmet treats to the latest in pet tech gadgets. The event also features a line-up of live music to keep toes tapping and tails wagging throughout the afternoon. But wait, there’s more: the local police K9 unit will also be putting on a demonstration, undoubtedly showcasing the impressive training and skills of Maple Grove’s finest pooches.
The event isn’t just about the dogs, though. For those looking to expand their family, adoptable animals will be hoping to find their forever homes, with visitors being able to meet potential new companions. Interactive activities will also be on hand to keep both adults and children entertained, while food and beverage stalls ensure no one goes hungry—or thirsty, for instance.
As the social media post shared, "It’s a paw-some afternoon you won’t want to miss!" Clearly, Tails & Ales is shaping up to be the quintessential hang-out for pet lovers and their furry friends. Amid the fun and games, it's a chance to bond with the community, support local businesses, and maybe even welcome a new member to the family. Mark your calendars and leash up; this is one weekend event in Maple Grove that you and your pet are sure not to want to miss.
