DOG-OPOLY turns the entire festival into a playful board game where:

• Vendor spaces become “properties”

• Guests move through themed zones

• Brands get memorable, interactive exposure

• Attendees stay longer (because it’s fun)

Think:
🎨 Colorful installations
🎁 Community Chest moments
📸 Photo-ready experiences
🐕 Dogs trotting through it all like they own Park Place

Spoiler: they do.
