About This Show
AI-drafted summarySuper Pet Expo is a family-friendly consumer pet event billed as "The East Coast's Largest Consumer Pet Event," bringing together pet owners, products, and live entertainment under one roof. The Manassas, VA edition takes place at Manassas Mall and welcomes leashed, friendly pets alongside their owners for a weekend of shopping, education, and hands-on fun.
Attendees can browse 150+ local and national exhibitors offering services, products, and more, and speak with representatives from local rescue organizations to learn about the adoption process and meet pet experts with a variety of specialties, including training, nutrition, and health. The show blends retail with "edutainment" — live demonstrations, celebrity dog trainers, pet influencer panels, and interactive zones for dogs.
It's worth attending whether you're shopping for the latest pet products, considering adoption, or simply looking for a fun outing with your dog. The Super Pet Expo is a family-friendly "animal extravaganza" with pet-focused activities and vendors. You can even bring your leashed pet for no additional ticket price.

At the Show $20 Adult (12+) – valid for one day admission, $10 Kids (4-11) – valid for one day admission (pets are free & kids under 3!)
Buying online offers the best value, since online tickets are good for re-entry all three days while at-the-door tickets are single-day only.

History
Super Pet Expo is produced by All Show Services and runs multiple regional editions on the East Coast, including Edison, NJ and Manassas, VA. The Northern Virginia edition was long held at the Dulles Expo Center in Chantilly. It is now anchoring itself inside a large retail complex. This relocation does not appear to be random scheduling drama. The bigger driver is that the Dulles Expo Center is preparing for closure as the property transitions to a major retail redevelopment. The annual Super Pet Expo, formerly held at the now-closed Dulles Expo Center, has found a new Northern Virginia venue. The show moved to Manassas Mall beginning with its 2026 edition.
