May Day for Mutts! Saturday May 3rd from 8 to 11 AM

An fun-filled morning for dogs and their people...

We're Celebrating May Day for Mutts along with National Purebred Dog Day, National Rescue Dog Day, and National Pet Week. Our event is kid friendly, pet friendly, and FREE to watch.

Our Annual Dog Day in Colonial Beach is held each year as a memorial to Sharon Smith, who founded the event in 2011. Join us for a laid-back, kid-friendly, fun filled morning for dogs and their people to benefit the Colonial Beach Humane Society and Colonial Beach Rivah Dogs. We are back on the hill next to Dockside Tiki Bar this year.

Dog Day features amateur games including tricks, stay & recall, mini-agility, find a bone, frisbee catch, tennis ball retrieval, water retrieval, and our famous Pet Parade with multiple awards including biggest, smallest, oldest, and youngest dog; best 6 legs (polite leash walking), best youth handler, best costume, and more! All dog-friendly and people-friendly dogs, and their friendly families, are welcome whether you participate or just watch!

FREE to watch. $10 donation per dog/handler team to participate. Vendor spots and Sponsorships Available $25/$50/$100. All proceeds benefit the CB Humane Society & Rivah Dogs.
