Love Songs for Paws is the kick-off event. It will be held at Sidecar Social, located at 5100 Belt Line Road in Dallas. It will take place on February 15, 2025, from 3 to 5 p.m. This is the perfect event to celebrate universal love on Valentine's Day weekend.

The event includes a concert by Nova Pangea and an adoption event hosted by Dallas Animal Services. It will feature a special selection of songs that celebrate the unconditional love between humans and pets. These ‘Love Songs For Paws’ will inspire responsible pet adoption, based on the four festival values. What makes this concert unique is that for the first time ever, the audience will experience the results of Nova Pangea’s new song arrangements. The band will tweak iconic songs that were written to express love between humans into new versions as if they were written from the point of view of a dog or cat, or from a pet owner to his/her furry friend, creating new love stories that will seal the bond between humans and their pets.
