Sydney-based act Emma and the Cosy Groove headlined the event, with local acts Smith & Jones, Joey Simmons, Brooke Webb, Jasmine Gold and Tristan West rounding out the bill.
Billed as Bathurst's first pet-friendly music festival, the event was designed to promote the inclusion of dogs at local venues.
The event raised $2000 for the RSPCA's Bathurst Branch, which will help fund animal welfare programs such as the Community Animal Welfare Scheme [CAWS], which offers subsidised desexing, microchipping and vaccination services for low-income earners.
