Fromm Petfest returned to Milwaukee's lakefront on Saturday after organizers saw record attendance last year.

The free, 11th annual event featured fan-favorite attractions like dock diving, agility courses and the "Doggie Dash" speed trial. There was open play at the Petfest Dog Park. Adoption Avenue hosted dozens of animal-related nonprofits. New in 2024 was an expanded Splash Zone, as well as a small-dogs-only Lure course.
