The Festival Abides is a two-day, dog-friendly outdoor celebration inspired by The Big Lebowski, created in memory of the founder’s late father, who loved the cult classic. The festival blends humor, community, and nostalgia through activities like a themed dog show (“Stray Dogs & Nihilists”), scavenger hunts, live music, food trucks, a costume contest, a DIY rug art station, and a screening of the film itself.
