Sponsor Bark in the Park

Bark in the Park™ is the largest dog festival in the United States. We are expecting more than 6,000 dog lovers and 2,500 dogs again in 2024. Monies raised from Bark in the Park benefit local community and pet-focused organizations including Humane Society Silicon Valley, San Jose Animal Care Center, and the Campus Community Neighborhood Association.

The event is publicized throughout the Bay Area in online, mail distribution, social and traditional media.

We have have added several new sponsorship levels for Bark 2024 this year, ranging from $1,150 to $7,500. In addition, we are seeking Sponsored Teams of 10 to 20 volunteers. All sponsored volunteer teams will get special recognition at the event.

If you have questions, please contact our Sponsor Chair at Sponsor@BarkSanJose.org.
