Calling all paw-rents! 18 – 21 Dec is going to be the ultimate 4 days of fun for both you and your fur-babies. That’s because the Big Furry Festival (BFF) is coming to Holland Village and transforming an entire neighbourhood into a playground for both pets and humans.
A festival of ‘Play & Adventure’
What makes BFF different from other pet-centric events is that it’s not just a lifestyle expo where you can shop for pet products. BFF invites pet owners and their furry friends to a land of playful fun, wellness activities and community initiatives.
If you’re looking for ‘Play & Adventure’ with your pets, you can join the Holland Village Exploration Race (S$35), which will take you and your pet across obstacle races, clue hunts and surprise challenges. Imagine ‘Amazing Race’ but for pets.
Pet-friendly Masterclasses
Looking for something a little bit more ‘paws-on’ with your little friends? You can also sign up for Masterclasses, such as the DIY Paw Print Workshop by The Little Sprout (S$35). This cute workshop will show you how to imprint your pet’s paw in a safe and clean way, producing a customised piece of framed keepsake that you can hold on to for memories! All pets (with paws) are welcome.
There is even a Masterclass that teaches you how to make No Bake Cupcakes (S$25) for your dogs, cats, rabbits and hamsters! For a full list of activities you can expect at BFF, click here.
Community of pets & pet lovers
BFF will take place around Holland Precinct, with most of its activities located at One Holland Village. To enter, you simply need to purchase a Festival Pass for S$8. This gives you access to all festival zones, including the BFF Market, Great Christmas Xchange and Movies at the Rooftop.
The BFF Market is a festival market where you can find artisanal treats and holiday fashion for both you and your pets, while The Great Christmas Xchange is a place to bring any pre-loved items you no longer need and trade them for other items from other pet parents.
If you would like to connect with other pet lovers and hang out with your pets under the Holland Village night sky, you can do so while watching a rooftop movie, too! For locations and timings of these activities, refer to the programme list here.
Special perks & discounts
The Festival Pass doesn’t just give you entry to BFF, but also a welcome surprise for you and your pets (while stocks last)! Also, you will get up to S$50 worth of curated discounts from select merchants at the festival and access to a festival lucky draw.
So, if you’re looking for a fun day out with your pets, head down to Holland Village on 18 – 21 Dec! Make sure to also follow BFF’s Instagram page for updates.
