Dog Days of Summer

You’re all invited to the Dog Days of Summer! Fredericksburg is one of the most dog-friendly cities around, so once a year we throw a party to celebrate it
Join us Saturday, July 18 from 10 AM–3 PM at The Barking Barley for a full day of local vendors, rescues and shelters, games, prizes, and family fun. Meet adoptable dogs looking for their forever home, shop from makers who get the dog life, and let everybody — two legs and four — run loose in the off-leash park.
Of course, we’ll have cold craft beer and hot dogs ready for the humans while the pups make new friends. 🍻🌭

✅ Free to attend
✅ All ages
✅ Dog-friendly (obviously)

📍 1515 Olde William Street, Fredericksburg, VA
Round up the family and the floofs. See you in the park!
