The event is free to attend, making it accessible for all dog enthusiasts. Attendees are encouraged to follow event guidelines, such as keeping dogs on a 6-foot leash at all times (no retractable leashes), providing space to others, refraining from introductions without permission, and avoiding bringing chews or toys for their pups to the event. This event is a wonderful opportunity for the community to come together and celebrate the bond between humans and their canine companions in a festive and friendly environment.
