Dog Events in American Canyon, CA

This annual event is among the largest in Contra Costa County, drawing over 85,000 attendees. Leashed, well-behaved dogs are welcome, especially during the cooler morning hours when sidewalks are less crowded. Dog owners are encouraged to ensure their pets are comfortable in crowds, stay hydrated, and take advantage of the dog cooling station located at 30 Lafayette Circle. Festival-goers can explore more than 200 booths featuring arts, crafts, and fine art, enjoy a variety of foods from local restaurants and food trucks, and sample quality wines and microbrews. Live music will be performed continuously across four stages.

Bring your Chihuahua, Chi mix, or other friendly small breed dog to this fun meetup for an afternoon of off-leash play, socialization, and new friendships. Pups can enjoy treats, photo opportunities, a group photo, and goodie bags while supplies last, while owners connect with fellow small dog lovers in a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere.

This dog-friendly parade features a dog costume contest, obstacle course, pet vendor booths, food trucks and mimosas. Dogs can compete for prizes in categories including Best Costume Overall, Most Creative and Best Pair, with separate small- and large-dog divisions.

Bring Fido to PIDO's outrageous annual dog costume contest and parade, with prizes for best small, medium, and large dog costume categories. It's recommended to arrive early; parking may be difficult. Registration starts at 12 PM and the parade at 1 PM.
