Keep in mind, June in Texas is hot. Asphalt can burn paws, so check the pavement before walking and use paw protection if needed. If you couldn’t walk on the ground barefoot, neither can your dog. Bring water, use a leash, and watch for signs of overheating like heavy panting or fatigue. Never leave pets in a parked car.

We will have water available, but your dog’s safety starts with you. Learn more about how you can keep your companion safe and happy.

Stay cool with our Cooling Stations located throughout the Festival grounds. Texas sunshine is part of the experience, so pace yourself, hydrate often, and make cooling stops part of your Finale game plan.
