Assiniboia Downs - 3975 Portage Ave, and we’re taking over the 1st and 3rd floor of the venue.

If you have a VIP Purrk Pass, entry starts at 10am. For General Admission, entry starts at 11am.

The event ends at 4pm.

Only the VIP Purrk Pass and Children 18 & under (Kitten Admission & Pounce Pass) will be permitted early entry between 10am 11am.

As soon as general admission begins, other tickets are welcome in the VIP line if tickets were purchased together.

No. The VIP Purrk Pass is optional for guests of all ages.

Children can attend with the appropriate admission ticket for their age and do not need a VIP Purrk Pass unless they would like to receive the VIP perks, including the exclusive swag bag.

If you'd like your child to have their own swag bag and VIP benefits, you'll need to purchase a separate VIP Purrk Pass for them. Otherwise, simply select the appropriate admission ticket for their age category.

No, swag is no longer free for early attendees.

This year, swag is included only with the VIP Purrk Pass, which also comes with early access to shop one hour before the event opens to the public.

We’re hoping in the future we can secure enough sponsorships and donations to provide free swag again for early attendees.
