Doggie Dash Pet Festival Activities, Freebies and Fun

Doggie Dash is so much more than a 5k walk. This event is a dog oasis that celebrates our community of pet lovers with tons of activities, freebies and fun you won’t want to miss.

On May 11, Waterfront Park is going to the dogs for Portland’s best pet festival. After a *sunny* 5k stroll along the Willamette River, participants have exclusive access to an entire park filled with activities designed with pet lovers in mind. (Yep, you read that right. The forecast calls for 70+ and sunny!)

The park will be hosting more than 90 booths offering activities, freebies and special drawings for incredible prizes.

  • Your dog is sure to love Pastini’s pasta eating contest. Post a slow motion video of your dog catching pasta at the Pastini booth and be entered to win a $100 Pastini gift card.
  • In the libation station, steal a smooch with your favorite pooch at the Tito’s Vodka dog kissing booth.
  • Don’t worry, cat lovers. We didn’t forget about you! Doggie Dash has an entire section dedicated to our feline friends. The Kitty Corner will have cat vendors as well as a drawing for your very own custom catio.

Now that you’ve had a small taste of what the festival has to offer, it’s time to register. Your $50 registration gets you access to all the events at Doggie Dash and helps care for shelter animals in need. So, what are you waiting for? Come Dash with us!
