From the best-dressed dog and photo competitions to enjoying a hot or cold bevvy at either the pooch cafe or bar, there's something for all dog lovers to celebrate their four-legged friends on Floriade's last day.
Unfortunately, the weather won't be paw-fect ... it might be a little ruff.
There's a chance of showers for both days, with a top of 18 on Saturday and 19 on Sunday, so you might be as wet as a dog but organisers are encouraging all pups, big and small - as well as their humans to attend the dog-friendly activities and entertainment planned.
Acting director of Events ACT Jo Verden said she was thrilled with the attendance of Floriade this year.
"Visitor numbers have been especially strong across each weekend of the event, including the long weekend in October," Ms Verden said.
"The weather has been particularly kind, with nearly perfect sunny days every day, and while it did get cold during the evenings for NightFest, this didn’t stop the crowds turning up and enjoying the nightly entertainment across all five nights."
Ms Verden said more than 400,000 people attended the event last year and she was confident that this year would deliver strong attendance numbers and would have made a significant contribution to the ACT economy.
"This year we rejuvenated a variety of offerings throughout the Park, increasing our focus on local food and beverage offerings, revitalising the shopping experience within the main vista and ensuring a full schedule of entertainment for visitors across the 30 days," she said.
"The feedback we’ve been receiving over the past four weeks has shown that these changes have been noticed and enjoyed by our local and interstate attendees."
