Boxerstock Kids' Village

Water Walkers at Boxerstock

Whether you call it our Kids’ Village or Puppy People Play Town, 2016’s Kids' Village is a day out inside your day out.  It’s bigger and more fun than ever. Start out pouncing and bouncing on one of the inflatables, try out some of our other cool and unforgettable activities, and then stroll around the family vendors for some great souvenirs. 

Why not try on a new look with our face painters?  Be a dog!  Who’s a princess today? You are! You can even be a black cat or a spook-tastic spider for Halloween!

And even though it’s the height of fall, don’t forget the holidays are just a few weeks off.  We’ve got photographer Alex Neely to capture the whole family including the pups!  Best.Holiday.Card.Ever!

Of course, don’t forget to check out useful info from K-9 Coach and watch some amazing and educating demos.

All this fun is on top of our already great family event. So check out the other schedules of bands and demos around the park and grab some great food from the food trucks. And remember, all this benefits Atlanta Boxer Rescue!
