October 1, 2025

Cats have taken a special place in the modern world – not just as pets, but as a source of emotional support, a symbol of comfort, coziness, and safety. A large-scale festival for cat lovers takes place annually in early November in the picturesque city of Williamsburg, Virginia. Visitors can expect a rich program, plenty of entertainment, and stalls selling a variety of accessories, toys, and souvenirs for cats and their owners.

The program typically includes: Marketplace, Workshops, Cat Adoptions, Meet & Greets, Costume Parade, Activities & Games, Jellicle Ball, CatVideoFest. Special Guests.

This unique festival exudes a joyful atmosphere of inspiration and creativity. It brings together creative artists from across Virginia who create cat-inspired products. You can purchase unique souvenirs, clothing, jewelry, and home decor featuring cat designs – from mugs and t-shirts to custom paintings and figurines. It’s the perfect place to find a gift for yourself or a cat-loving friend!

Special events are planned for the evening: a screening of cat videos called “CatVideoFest” and a themed party called “Jellicle Ball,” featuring music and dancing – entry requires a separate ticket.
