Maple Grove’s pet-friendly event is back for another year.
Calling all animal lovers—Maple Grove Parks and Recreation is back with its annual Tails & Ales event, hosted alongside the Maple Grove Lions, the Lookout Bar and Grill and Inspire & Flourish.
Created in 2022, Tails & Ales welcomes pet owners to bond with their furry friends and create a community. City of Maple Grove recreation coordinator Roee Hecht says it welcomes area businesses and nonprofits, such as pet treat makers, dog trainers, boarding facilities, rescues with adoptable dogs, and more. “It’s about celebrating the special relationship we have with pets, supporting local business, organizations and rescues, and encouraging pet adoption by showcasing animals in need of loving homes,” Hecht says, noting the day includes interactive activities, food and drink from the Lookout Bar and Grill, live music, a demonstration from the Maple Grove Police Department K9 Unit and more. Additionally, Hecht says one dog has found their forever home each year since it began.
