Animal rescue nonprofit, Pets Lifeline, will host its free “Critter Carnival” on Saturday, Oct. 18, inviting the community to enjoy an afternoon of family-friendly fun, food, and furry friends.

The event will take place from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at 19686 Eighth St. East in Sonoma. It will feature live music, carnival games, local eats, and adoptable animals.

“The Critter Carnival is a celebration of community and compassion,” said Mary Serafini, events coordinator at Pets Lifeline. “It’s a day where families, friends, and animal lovers can come together to enjoy fall festivities, connect with our mission, and just have fun.”

Highlights include live music from Curley & Curlier, Aunt Betty’s famous corn dogs, Fiorello’s Italian gelato, and pumpkin and face painting by Mama Mary. Visitors can also enjoy cotton candy, snow cones, and a raffle for a basket filled with local treats and surprises.

Carnival games, including large-scale attractions from Sonoma Party Rentals, will add to the festivities, and attendees will have the chance to meet adoptable pets from Pets Lifeline’s shelter.
