Barkitecture 2026

Triangle Barkitecture takes over Downtown Cary Park with custom pet architecture, adoptable animals, and a full day of tail-wagging fun to support local rescues. This pet architecture competition features over 20 unique builds by architects and designers from the Triangle, all up for auction with proceeds benefiting Hope Animal Rescue, Mia’s Mafia, and Perfectly Imperfect Pups. Enjoy activities like the Kitten Cuddle Room by Connie’s Kittens, a free Howl-o-Ween Pet Costume Contest, a pet food and litter donation drive for SAFE Haven for Cats, live music, local vendors, and adoptable pets from over seven rescues. Leashed pets are welcome to join the fun!
