4 Apr - 27 Apr 2025Free event
Please note: This is an art installation so please treat with kindness and be gentle when interacting with the dogs. They love pats but please don’t jump on their backs – they’ve run all the way from Melbourne to see you – and need a little rest. You are welcome to pat and hug them instead!
--
As you encounter each dog in the happy pack – some towering up to 5.5m tall and all in various poses: curled-up, standing, even touching noses – their coats come alive with light, and they greet you with joyful grunts. You’ll meet four unique characters inspired by Poodles, Bull Terriers, and Dachshunds.
The installation features a custom-designed soundscape of electronic music that celebrates dogs, accompanied by a playful chorus of barks, growls, howls, and all manner of canine commotion.
This April, bring the family to experience the wonder of the Lost Dogs’ Disco – a celebration of connection, creativity, and the irresistible joy that dogs bring to our lives.
Don’t miss this FREE event that’s fun for all ages. Dogs on leashes are welcome!
