Why Partner with Corgi Fest?

Corgi Fest is more than a dog event—it's a beloved Erie tradition celebrating community, creativity, and the incredible bond between people and their pets.

In 2026, we'll celebrate our seventh Corgi Fest. Our largest festival welcomed more than 1,000 attendees from across the region for a day filled with corgi races, costume contests, local vendors, and unforgettable moments of joy and whimsy. Our record attendance includes 330 corgis, making it one of the largest corgi gatherings in the region.

Through our raffle and community partnerships, we proudly support corgi rescues and veterinary care nonprofits while celebrating the pets who bring so much joy to our lives.

Corgi Fest creates a meaningful economic impact for Erie. Visitors travel from across Pennsylvania, Ohio, New York, and beyond, with many staying for the entire weekend. They book local hotels, dine at area restaurants, shop at local businesses, and experience everything Erie has to offer.

The festival also provides valuable opportunities for more than 25 vendors, including local and regional food trucks, artists, makers, nonprofits, and small businesses. Corgi Fest gives entrepreneurs a platform to connect with new customers, grow their audience, and generate revenue.

Our vision is to keep Corgi Fest in Erie for many years to come. With continued support from businesses, organizations, and community partners, we can continue growing this one-of-a-kind event while preserving the hometown spirit that has made it such a beloved tradition.

By partnering with Corgi Fest, you're helping strengthen our local economy, support small businesses and nonprofits, promote animal welfare, and ensure this uniquely Erie tradition continues bringing thousands of smiles—and wagging tails—to our community.
