Fairmont Dallas is excited to announce the grand reopening of its newly renovated lobby-level Starbucks with a special Dog Days of Summer event, celebrating International Dog Day. Scheduled for Monday, August 26, from 10:00 to 11:30 AM, this event will bring a delightful morning of pet-friendly activities, perfect for dog lovers and their furry companions.

The newly renovated Starbucks at Fairmont Dallas, located at 1717 North Akard Street, has been upgraded with an expanded beverage counter, a nitro cold brew station, and enhanced seating areas, making it an inviting space for guests and pets alike. The floor-to-ceiling windows and pet-friendly outdoor seating offer a relaxing environment to enjoy the sights and sounds of the Dallas Arts District.

The Dog Days of Summer event will feature a variety of fun and engaging activities for both pets and their owners. Local vendors, including Arie and Pru, will be on-site, offering an array of adorable dog bandanas for sale. In addition, guests can enjoy complimentary pet portraits by Caricatures By Guy With The Guitar, a unique and creative way to capture memories with their four-legged friends.

To add to the festivities, Fairmont Dallas’ talented pastry team has crafted special dog treats that will be available during the event. And of course, no visit to Starbucks would be complete without a Puppuccino, which will be offered to give your pups a taste of the Starbucks experience.

As part of the event’s commitment to supporting the community, 5% of sales from Arie and Pru will be donated to Operation Kindness, the largest no-kill shelter in North Texas. This donation will help provide care and find homes for animals in need, furthering Operation Kindness’ mission.

Fairmont Dallas invites all guests to join in this tail-wagging good time and celebrate the reopening of Starbucks with their beloved pets. Whether you’re a local resident or a visitor to the Dallas area, this event offers a unique opportunity to enjoy a morning of fun, relaxation, and community spirit.
