Dog Day Festival

Imagine a day where four-legged friends rule the world. The two-leggeds are referred to as "dog's best friend." Tennis balls and tasty treats are the ultimate reward for positive behavior. On this day, "Music City USA" becomes a dog's world! Appropriate greetings are done front to back, high fives are still high fives (they're just better!) and the streets are paved with treats! That day is here… it's Nashville Humane's annual Dog Day presented by Mars Petcare!

Bring your pooches to Dog Day, and don't forget to wear your best costume for both you and/or your dog. There will be food trucks, local vendors, costume contests, fun zones, live entertainment/music and so much more! The festival also serves as a wonderful opportunity to meet wonderful and adoptable shelter dogs who are ready to find their forever homes! We promise you won't want to miss this event!
