April 11 @ 12:00 pm - 4:00 pm

Celebrate one of the Garden’s most beloved traditions — Dog Day in the Garden — in partnership with the Fayetteville Animal Protection Society (FAPS).
Saturday, April 11, 2026. Noon-4pm

This outdoor, family-friendly event invites dogs and their humans to explore the Garden together for a day filled with fun, community, and canine charm. Highlights include the ever-popular Dog Pageant, opportunities to connect with local pet-focused vendors and organizations, and plenty of space for leashed pups to enjoy the fresh air and scenic paths.

Whether your dog loves to strut their stuff, meet new friends, or simply take in the sights and smells of spring, Dog Day offers a welcoming environment for all.

Additional details about activities, pageant registration, and event features will be announced soon.

All dogs must remain leashed at all times.
