Bring Fido to this energetic 5K race throughout the park! Well behaved and socialized dogs are welcome but must be kept on a short leash for the safety of all runners. Or, join The Family Dog Walk--a relaxing one mile stroll through the beautiful park trails for you and your pup. Registration is required. All proceeds benefit the local non-profit organization, Recreation Deeds for Special Needs.

Dog lovers are invited to bring their pet and walk through the light show on foot. All dogs must be leashed. Santa and Lucky Dog will be available for photos!

Bring Fido on a drive through the lights! Driving through “Lights on the Bay” at Sandy Point State Park has become a tradition for many families for the past decade.
