PETS ARE NOT ALLOWED AT SLC PRIDE Service Animals are enthusiastically welcome! All others should be left at home. Because festivals are stressful on all bodies (humans and dogs), we encourage you to make healthy choices for both you and your Service Animal. Let’s keep you and your animal partner safe by having a bowl for their water and please give them as many breaks as they need from the heat and the crowds. To make the festival fully accessible to everyone, green space may be at a minimum, which means the ground will be hot. We ask that you please keep an eye on their paws.
