Dog Events in Center Barnstead, NH

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.

Bring the whole family and your well-behaved pup to a holiday market featuring 15+ food trucks, 100+ vendors, live music, Police K9 demonstrations, a free community dog show, a Kid Zone, Holiday Market, two Christmas trains, Santa and Mrs. Claus, raffles, giveaways and more. A free shuttle runs from Big Jim’s Home Center to Rollins Park, and dogs are allowed on the shuttle. Dogs may take photos with Santa, but aren't permitted on the Christmas trains. Dogs must be well-behaved, healthy, and current on vaccinations. Please use a non-retractable leash no longer than 4'.

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.
