Calling all animal lovers! Joybound Around Town on Broadway (formerly known as Animals on Broadway) is one of Joybound’s biggest community events of the year! Hosted at Walnut Creek’s Broadway Plaza, 2025’s event is not to be missed.
This annual festival is an opportunity for people and pets alike to celebrate the human-animal bond. Paws hit the pavement as the morning began with an easy, one-mile pet walk around downtown Walnut Creek. Then, the fun continued into the late afternoon with our action-packed pet festival, complete with adoptable animals across Northern California, face-painting, children’s activities, dog training demonstrations, games, prizes, pet-related vendors, and – of course – the beloved best-dressed pet contest!
We can’t wait to see you there! Questions? Contact us at [email protected].

Joybound Around Town on Broadway begins at 10 am with a celebratory pet walk. Participants make the easy, one-mile trek around Broadway Plaza with their furry friends. Team leaders use Joybound’s online portal to invite friends, family, co-workers, and any other fellow animal lovers to join their team and raise funds to give more animals safe, healthy, loving homes. We even have exciting prizes for our top fundraisers and top fundraising teams!

After the completion of the Paw-rade, the day of fun continues into the afternoon with our pet wellness festival! With the streets of Broadway Plaza lined with pet-related booths and activities, guests will enjoy fun for pets and people of all ages.
