Dog Events in Manassas Park, VA

Two- and four-legged friends are invited to celebrate Halloween in this annual event! Dress Fido in his best costume and head over for a fun-filled afternoon featuring trick-or-treating, vendors, live music, food, dog competitions, and more!

On Wednesdays, during regular daytime hours, leashed dogs are welcome in the gardens (only service dogs are permitted on other days). Each adult may bring one dog. All attendees must sign an Assumption of Risk and Rules of Participation form before entering. Dogs must be leashed at all times with a non-retractable leash no longer than 6 feet. Loaner leashes are available at the Admissions Desk, and adult handlers are responsible for keeping dogs under control and out of landscape beds.

The Mantua community is the perfect setting for this annual Thanksgiving dash. You and Fido will wind along the 4-mile course through pretty neighborhoods and tree-lined pathways displaying the beautiful colors of fall. All participants will receive a custom Fairfax Turkey Trot T-shirt. Please note dogs and their owners should start in the back of the pack.

Experience the magic of Christmas with Fido! Visitors receive a free 4x6" photo with Santa. Other photo packages will be available for purchase. Advance reservations are highly recommended and can go quickly. Hours vary by store.

Experience 2.5 miles illuminated by holiday light displays. Drive the festival route from the comfort of your car; just turn off your headlights and follow the magical glow! Fido must remain in the car with you at all times.
