Humane Pennsylvania has announced the return of its signature fundraiser, the Walk for the Animals! The 49th Annual Walk for the Animals will take place on Saturday, May 2, 2026, at the Berks County Fairgrounds in Leesport, PA. Following two highly attended themed Walks, the tradition will continue this year with another Star Wars-inspired theme, “Return of the Walkers!” The event invites animal lovers from across the region to participate in a leisurely one-mile stroll alongside their dogs, family members, and friends while supporting Humane Pennsylvania’s mission. The Walk will run from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., with registration beginning at 10 a.m. and the Walk starting at 11 a.m. In addition, attendees can enjoy a full day of activities, including live music sets from Walk legends Neo Trio, as well as Emme Ryan & Damien Drago. The event will also feature local vendors, games, dog contests
