LI-DOG cordially invites our canine families to LI-DOG’s Pack WalkTM at Old Westbury Gardens during the OWG Spring Dog Festival! On Saturday, April 22nd at 12:00 p.m. (11:30 a.m. free registration), we will spend a delightful hour on a guided tour of the beautiful, English-themed splendor of Old Westbury Gardens. There’ll be plenty of spring’s budding horticultural treasures for our eyes and our fur babies’ noses to enjoy!
The Walk is almost all on flat ground and there are opportunities to shorten the walk for those who wish to do so. Make sure to bring poop bags–as clean-up is a must!–and bring your camera as there are many beautiful photo opportunities on the grounds.
Registrants for the Pack Walk will have the opportunity to donate $5 to LI-DOG for a chance to win a raffle basket full of doggie toys and treats. If you double your donation, you (more than) double your chances to win as a $10 donation gets four tickets! All proceeds support LI-DOG’s work to gain more access to public parks and beaches for Long Island dog owners and their dogs.
Make sure to stick around after the Pack Walk and enjoy the Old Westbury Gardens Spring Dog Festival with booths and exhibits from rescues, animal advocacy organizations including LI-DOG, and vendors of doggie goodies and gear. OWG’s Spring Dog Festival runs from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sat. only.
On both Saturday and Sunday, from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m., enjoy Spring Dog Days at Old Westbury Gardens when the Gardens invites on-leash dogs and their people to enjoy the grounds of the estate. On Sunday, the United Kennel Club will be hosting an all-breed conformation match from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m.
Dogs must be on-leash at all times when visiting the gardens and are not allowed in any buildings on the grounds.
OWG admission fees are $12 for adults; $10 for seniors (62 and over) and $7 children ages 7-17. OWG members, children under 6, and four-legged visitors are free!
