Busan Metropolitan City (Mayor Chun Jae-soo) announced that the 2026 Busan Pettro Festival will be held at 10:00 a.m. on October 24 at Pet Station, located in the underground shopping area between Suyeong and Gwangan Stations on the Busan Metro.

The event is organized by Pet Station Co., Ltd. and sponsored by Busan Metropolitan City.

Now in its second year, the festival aims to revitalize the pet-friendly shopping district and foster a pet-friendly culture that brings together pet owners and non-pet owners.

This year's festival will feature a variety of interactive programs that visitors can enjoy with their pets.

Activities scheduled throughout the day include a veterinarian-led pet talk show, mini-games with pets, consultations on pet-related concerns, and prize drawings.

Visitors can also participate in pet accessory-making workshops and receive consultations on pet behavior correction. The veterinary clinic at Pet Station will offer pet health consultations, while the grooming salon will provide free basic hygiene grooming services.

A flea market featuring 10 local small businesses specializing in pet-related products will offer a variety of items, including pet treats, clothing, and accessories.

A special abandoned dog adoption campaign will also give visitors opportunities to meet and interact with abandoned dogs and receive adoption consultations.

Busan Metropolitan City expects the campaign to help promote a culture of responsible pet ownership.

Pet Station, the festival venue, is an urban pet-friendly cultural and shopping complex where visitors can access a wide range of pet-related products and services in one location.

Since opening in 2024, the complex has welcomed various businesses, including a veterinary clinic, pet cafés, grooming salons, and pet food and supply stores. Busan Metropolitan City plans to use the festival as an opportunity to raise public awareness of Pet Station.
