🐶 Dog-Friendly Weekend Highlights
Saturday, April 18th – Spring Dog Festival & Day 1 of Dog Days Weekend (10 am to 6 pm)
Rescues, advocacy groups like LI-DOG, and vendors offering treats, toys, and gear — it’s basically a doggie dream mall—will be on site on Saturday, April 18th.
Starting at 11 a.m. LI-DOG will lead a guided, one‑hour Pack Walk™ through the blooming, English‑themed gardens. Expect beautiful scenery, fresh spring air, and plenty of sniff‑worthy stops for your four‑legged explorers.
- Easy, mostly flat terrain (no need to huff and puff)
- Option to shorten the route if your pup prefers a lighter trot
- Endless photo ops for those Instagram‑worthy pup‑arazzi moments
- Please bring poop bags — let’s keep the gardens looking paw‑fect
- Please NO RETRACTABLE leashes as dogs and people can get tangled.
🎟 Registration & Raffle for LI-DOG Pack Walk™
The Pack Walk™ is free, but please sign in at the LI-DOG tent when you arrive.
Registrants can donate to LI-DOG for a chance to win a raffle basket stuffed with toys and treats — a real bow‑WOW of a prize!
All proceeds support LI‑DOG’s mission to expand dog access to Long Island parks and beaches.
📌 Important Rules
To keep the day safe and enjoyable for every pup and person:
- Dogs must remain on‑leash at all times
- Dogs are not allowed in the Walled Garden
- Please keep pups out of the daffodils — they’re beautiful but not for pawsing in
- Dogs are not permitted inside any buildings.
