Saturday, September 26, welcome to the 15th arrondissement City Hall's Animal Festival! The lineup features activities, beginner workshops, and free events focused on dogs and cats.

Dogs and cats will have to figure out how to share the town hall’s forecourt! On Saturday, September 26, 2026, the Animal Festival returns to the 15th arrondissement of Paris for an afternoon dedicated to pets and urban biodiversity. This year’s edition runs from 3:00 PM to 7:00 PM and adopts a clearly explicit theme: "Getting along like dogs and cats."

The Animal Festival offers a first-rate opportunity to meet a range of players in the animal world. These professionals and associations will be on hand to talk with the public about animal welfare, and to remind everyone of some best practices when owning or considering welcoming a pet.

Several activities will complement these meetings. Visitors will, in particular, be able to get advice on dog breeds, try out animal-themed virtual reality headsets, or attend a presentation on guide dogs for the visually impaired. Prizes will also be up for grabs during the afternoon.

Dog owners will also be able to try an agility course, an activity that involves guiding their dog over a series of obstacles. A way to sharpen focus and coordination while sharing an activity with their pet.

From 6 p.m., it's time for the "Kibble Party," and until 7 p.m., owners and their pets can come together to cap off this Animal Party with a relaxed, convivial moment.

Here's what's on the agenda for the 2026 edition of the 15th arrondissement's Animal Festival at the Town Hall:

  • Advice on dog breeds
  • Animal-themed virtual reality headset
  • Dog agility course
  • Presentation of guide dogs for the blind
  • Appearance by animal-welfare and wildlife professionals
  • Kibble Party (6 pm): a shared tasty moment

You and your pet are welcome to join this festive day in the 15th arrondissement!
