When you want to really spoil your dog, or just meet other dog owners who are as crazy about their pets as you, there’s no better place to bring Fido than a dog event. Attend any of the dog shows, agility competitions, costume parades, festivals or fundraisers on our Dog Events Calendar and you’ll meet, hundreds maybe even thousands, of dog lovers. And since 70% of the events listed benefit humane societies, attending one is a great way to help homeless pets too.

Pet Friendly HESTIVAL
HESTIVAL Dogs and their owners are invited to spend a weekend together full of outdoor adventures and unique activities during this annual event. As you unwind with friends, new and old, partake in a range of ventures like hiking, demonstrations, mountain biking, fireside chats and guided stargazing. Note that pets aren't allowed in the Orchard Cabins or on the shuttle for mountain biking or hiking, so if you'd like to bring them, please plan on driving your own vehicle to the trailhead.
