The Vassar fair is pet friendly

The decision to bring the Vassar experience to life in a park also has to do with the idea of creating a space for the whole family, including pets. The fair’s facilities allow pets to move safely through the different pavilions and common areas.

With wide corridors and green areas for common use, the Vassar fair opens its doors to visitors to enjoy the experience in the company of pets of all sizes.

In addition, and as “Pets” is one of the categories of the enterprises present, the organizers promote good practices during the visit of the attendees in order to avoid the misplacement of the visiting puppies.

With no restrictions beyond keeping the furry ones entering the event in sight, with leash and muzzle if necessary, those interested will be able to enjoy the Vassar fair in the company of their pets from 11 a.m., the time when the fair opens its doors from July 4 to 9.

A dream that was born in 2021

After a little more than two years since its creation, the Vassar fair aims to create “a creative community, an entrepreneurial and inclusive society that brings with it a movement of creators who have been innovating for years thanks to their visionary qualities behind the design, an idea or a concept”. So say its creators, who have also created the Association of Entrepreneurs with which they intend to boost the potential of local entrepreneurship.

The objective is clear: to give visibility to entrepreneurial projects of Colombian creatives in order to promote the responsible consumption of local goods, rather than imported ones. To this end, the Vassar fair brings together entrepreneurs covering categories such as Pets, Home and Decoration, Fashion, Accessories, Health and Beauty, among others.
