Pet Appreciation Day

September 27th, 2025

Saturday, September 27th | 10am–3pm | 2884 Gladys Ave | Free Entry

Join us for a special edition of The Mango Market as we celebrate the furry friends who bring so much joy to our lives—but don’t worry, this market is for everyone! 🧡

Pet Appreciation Day is a lively community event that honors pets while still offering the full Mango Market experience you know and love. You’ll find over 50+ local artisans showcasing a wide range of unique, high-quality goods—from handmade woodwork, sauces, and home décor, to clothing, candles, art, and so much more. While a few select vendors will have pet-focused items, the majority are your favorite non-pet makers and creators.

Event Highlights:

🐶 Live Pet Adoptions with Heart & Soul Rescue Society

📸 Pet Photography Minis to capture your furry companion

🎶 Live Music to keep the vibes high

🍔 Food Trucks to keep you fueled

🎁 First 100 Shoppers receive a scratch-to-win card—your chance to win Market Cash to spend at the event!

Bring your pup, bring your friends, or just bring yourself—there’s something for everyone at this feel-good day of local shopping, community, and fun.
