"We are thrilled to introduce Chonkfest to Philly
and the world," said Luke Silverman, CEO & Co-Founder of
Bark Social. "This festival is an exciting way for dog lovers to
come together, celebrate their pets, and have a damn good party
while doing it. Our objective was to bring the biggest party the
dog world has ever seen and can't wait to show everyone what we
have in store."
"For years, Bryan and I have been thinking about
how we can pull our community away from their phones and into an
environment that allows for us to share an amazing in-person
experience together. We weren't prepared to roll out an event that
wouldn't live up to our standards. Thanks to our partner, Bark
Social, and sponsor, Jazwares Pets, we feel we're finally ready to
congregate with our audiences and leave them with memories that
will last a lifetime. We truly cannot wait." - Chris Equale, @hammyandolivia
"Chris and I have spent years sharing our dogs
with the world, and we've been so grateful to have gotten the
support of millions around the world. Alongside our creator-led pet
brand Little Chonk, Chonkfest is our way of giving back to our
communities — by throwing an epic party, and celebrating the love
we have for our pets, with the people who have shown us unwavering
support over the years." - Bryan
Reisberg, dog dad to Maxine the Fluffy Corgi
Chonkfest is sponsored by Jazwares whose generous
support helps make this event possible.
