Celebrate the special bond between humans and their canine companions at this heartfelt fundraising event benefiting the American Cancer Society. Dogs must be 6 months or older, healthy, vaccinated and leashed.

Bring Fido out for a long weekend of music and camping! There will also be craft vendors, nightly bonfires, delicious local food, and yoga and meditation. Leashed and well-behaved dogs are welcome. Please note that most vendors are cash only.

Bring Fido along to kick off the holiday season! The event will have holiday-themed floats with special effects and audio systems, plus, high flying helium balloons and more than a dozen dancing groups and marching bands. Please ensure your pup is well-behaved and remains on a leash. The parade will start from The French Market with an extended route through downtown.

The Arthritis Foundation’s race is the original festive race for charity with your pup. It’s where you can strut your stuff in your favorite holiday costume. Bring a team of friends, family, and co-workers to run or walk. Please ensure your dog is kept on a leash. Check-in starts at 8 AM and the race begins at 9 AM.
