About this Event
Kukur Puja- Festival of Dog is a pawsome event dedicated to our furry friends! It is a unique celebration in Nepal dedicated to honoring dogs, part of the five-day Diwali festival, also known as the Festival of Lights. As one of the key days in Tihar, it recognizes the loyalty and companionship of dogs by blessing them with garlands, tika (a sacred mark), and offering them special treats. This heartwarming tradition celebrates the bond between humans and dogs, acknowledging their role as protectors and loyal friends. Kukur Tihar is a beautiful reflection of the reverence for animals in Nepali culture.
Join us for an evening filled with fun, Pups on Parade, and a screening of an Emmy-nominated documentary celebrating our beloved canine companions. Whether you have a dog, simply adore them, or are curious to learn about different cultures, this event offers a unique opportunity to connect with fellow dog lovers in the community. The documentary highlights a five-day celebration of animals, including the festival of dogs, showcasing the deep bond between humans and animals across cultures. It's a wonderful chance to embrace diversity, equity, and inclusion through the shared love of our furry friends! Don't miss out on the excitement and joy that this festival brings! Grab your leash and come on down to show your appreciation for man's best friend.
Please note that a professional photographer will be on-site to capture photos of you and your furry friends at no cost. A food truck from Longmont Social will also be available for you to purchase food and refreshments throughout the event. As a reminder, all dog owners are responsible for their pets and must keep them on a leash at all times. Please refrain from approaching or interacting with dogs that are not yours, and respect their space. Thank you for helping make this event safe and enjoyable for everyone!
