This Mother’s Day, May 10th, pet lovers and their four-legged family members are invited to celebrate the special bond between moms and their “furbabies” at this fun, family-friendly community event benefiting the Santa Barbara County Animal Care Foundation.

Join us in charming Old Town Orcutt at the Blast 825 Stockyard for a joyful afternoon filled with costumes, community, and compassion — all while helping raise critical funds for animals in need. Dress up with your dogs, cats, or other beloved companions and stroll through the historic district, visiting local merchants and collecting stamps on your event “paws-sport” passport. Completed pawssports will be entered into prize drawings featuring amazing donations from local businesses and sponsors.

Enjoy a lively costume contest with categories like Best Mom & Furbaby Duo, Funniest Costume, Most Creative, Best Rescue Story, and Crowd Favorite. Winners will be announced during the afternoon celebration, along with raffle drawings, sponsor recognition, and a special spotlight on adoptable shelter animals.
