Dog Events in Narrows, VA

This dog-friendly fundraiser invites guests to walk a 1.3-mile section of the Tanglewood Festival of Lights with leashed dogs, family and friends before the display opens to the public.

Advance tickets are required for a designated entry time, and retractable leashes aren't permitted. All attendees must use the back gate entrance of Tanglewood off of Idols Road.
