Dog Events in Newbury, MA

This dog-friendly Halloween social is hosted by Golden Dog Adventure Company and features a scenic vineyard walk, a human-and-dog team costume contest and time to enjoy drinks and dinner together. Dogs and their people can explore the trails, visit resident farm animals and relax on a dog-friendly deck after the walk. Costumes are optional, and the contest emphasizes creativity and canine comfort.

This dog-friendly Halloween parade invites children and dogs to dress in costume and parade around the NHSPCA’s campus while supporting the organization’s adoptable animals. Participants can enjoy treats, costume contests with prizes and opportunities to meet adoptable pets.

Santa will make his grand entrance atop the Hawthorne Hotel at 6 PM, courtesy of the Salem Fire Department, before leading a joyful procession through the Essex Street Pedestrian Mall to Lappin Park. There, families can gather with Santa, Mayor Dominick Pangallo, and carolers to light Salem’s Holiday Tree. Guests are encouraged to bring lanterns for the procession, with electric candles recommended for safety. Dogs must be leashed at all times.
