Fun for all the family at the Ranelagh Arts Festival on May 10th

Get ready for a day packed with joy, laughter, and creativity! The Family Fun Day in Mount Pleasant Park is one of the highlights of the Ranelagh Arts Festival—designed especially for kids and families to enjoy together.

Expect face painting, storytelling, live music, dancing, and hands-on art activities that will spark imaginations and bring big smiles. It’s a day where the whole community comes together to celebrate, play, and make memories.

Whether you're a local or visiting for the day, come join the fun and experience the heart and spirit of Ranelagh in full swing.

Wrapping up the event at 3pm is the fluffiest, funniest, and most fabulous event of the season, the Ranelagh Arts Festival Dog Show.

An event full of four-legged flair, featuring:

🎭 Doggie Talent Show – “Best Performance Art” Is your pup a master of tricks, twirls or creative flair? Show us their star potential on the doggie stage.

👯‍♂️ Lookalike Competition – “Doggie Doppelgangers” Do you and your dog look strangely alike? Enter and find out who’s the best matched pair in town.

🎊 Pet Parade A chance for pets of all kinds to strut their stuff in style. Costumes and creativity welcome!

👵🐾 Best Senior Pet – “Golden Oldie” Celebrating the charm, wisdom and love of our older companions. If your pet is ageing like fine wine, this one’s for you.

Expect fun and amazing prizes across all categories – so bring your A-game (and your best tricks)!

🐶 Proudly sponsored by Humphreys, supporting our local pet community.

Whether you’re taking part or cheering from the sidelines, it’s set to be a highlight of the festival, see you there!
