New England Plant Expo presents an exotic plant market to enjoy with your four-legged friend. There'll be a variety of plants as well as botanically themed artisans and crafters. Food trucks are also available on site.

The calendar of activities will delight the whole family, as well as hiking, nature and even ski enthusiasts! Come out and take full advantage of the fall season, take in some fresh air, and enjoy the stunning views the Eastern Townships have to offer.

The Laconia Pumpkin Festival, formerly the New Hampshire Pumpkin Festival, welcomes leashed pups to celebrate the season! Expect thousands of glowing carved pumpkins, including the iconic pumpkin tower, live music (plus laser shows and dancing witches), festive parades for kids and costumed pets, artisan and food vendors, the Pumpkin Express train, games like corn-hole and craft stations, and a beer garden.

Bring your leashed pup for a beautiful fall morning walk down the Eastern Trail for a great cause! This event raises awareness and funds for hospice care and support across Southern Maine. There will be prizes, food, Holy Donuts, music and lots of community spirit. The event will start at the Hospice of Southern Maine, and from there attendees will walk 2.25 or 4.5-mile routes of the Eastern Trail.

Enjoy Trunk-or-Treat for dogs, decorate Halloween dog cookies ($5, benefiting Long Journey Animal Rescue), free doggie mocktails, a pet costume contest and dog/owner games with prizes, and a spooky pet photo fundraiser. Refreshments, mini trick-or-treat bags, and special event discounts make this a festive, family- and pet-friendly celebration. All dogs must be leashed and vaccinated.

Bring Fido to this annual autumn festival featuring family-friendly activities, including DogtoberFest, a parade of costumed dogs. Guests can also enjoy live entertainment, a classic car show, an artisan craft fair, food trucks, children's activities, and seasonal fun throughout town.

Join professional photographers Gini and Doug Haines for pet, family and kids’ photos. Photos start at $10 for a 5x7, with portrait packages, holiday cards, and novelty gifts featuring your pet also available. Walk-ins are welcome, but reservations are recommended to secure your spot.

Leashed dogs are welcome the first Friday of every month from May through November when businesses are encouraged to stay open late and the streets come alive with food trucks, live performances, art displays and other activities.
