The dog-lovers festival is billed as the largest dog festival in the United States, according to event planners who cite attendance at more than 15,000 dog lovers and 3,900 dogs. More than 75 vendors with dog-specific goods and services, and vendors with food and drink for humans.

Organized by the Campus Community Association, Bark in the Park began as a small neighborhood event to celebrate people and their dog.  This family-friendly event features contests, beverages, food, agility courses, kid's activities, and over 75 different dog-related vendors and services. Proceeds from donations benefit the Humane Society Silicon Valley, San Jose Animal Care Center and other local charities.

Returning this year is the ever-popular Misting Tent, courtesy of San Jose Water, along with low-cost vaccinations and microchipping provided by PAWS 4 SJACS (Pet Awareness and Welfare Society for San Jose Animal Care Services).
