2026 Mutt Gala Recap
05/07/2026
BY RAYNE KELLY
The 4th annual Midtown Alliance Mutt Gala brought out well-dressed pups and adoring fans with a passion for fashion. The event, held on Peachtree Street, drew more than 1,500 visitors who enjoyed food and drinks, shopping in the vendor market, and snapping pics of the fierce four-legged competitors on the red carpet.
And when it comes to high-style silhouettes and avant-garde flair, our local pups truly understood the assignment. From the "PUParazzi" red carpet to the sprawling Vendor Village, the energy was electric.

An event this chic doesn't happen without a village.
We want to extend a massive thank you to the sponsors and partners who provided the support to make the 2026 Mutt Gala our most successful one yet, including WM Events, Chewy VetCare, and Piedmont Bark.
A huge thank you to our emcee, the incomparable Brigitte Bidet, for keeping the runway fierce, and DJ OOOMAMI for the soundtrack of the season. Special thanks to artist Jeremy Ray for capturing the "Architecture of Elegance" in his live sketches.
Of course, every masterpiece needs a discerning eyeâand our panel of local judges certainly had their work cut out for them. A huge thank you to this group for taking on the 'impaws-ible' task of judging this year's contest: including Cat Catoura, Sandra Macedo & Ryder the Dalmation, Andi Rozzelle from GA Followers Official, Myles Barrineau, owner of AtlannaTonight, and Clinton Stewart from Chewy VetCare Midtown!
Our Vendor Village was the heartbeat of the block party, offering everything from bespoke accessories to artisanal snacks. A huge thank you to all the vendors who brought their energy and creativity to Midtown! We want to give a special round of "a-paws" to: Four Legged Foodie, Pawstries, K and C Pastries, Pup Crunch, Bark and Board Brookhaven, Barkcuterie Chix, Pawstries, The Pet's Table, NjoyA Bones, Diego the Pet Photographer, and Major Dog Co!
We were also excited to collaborate with Hudson Grille and Wicked Wolf, who made their after-parties extra special.
