Dog Days Of Downtown
This year, don't leave your furry friend at home during the International Cherry Blossom Festival because there are several events that will have your pup's tail wagging all day long!
Starting on March 18, you can catch The Wiener Dog Race from 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m. Expect to see the dachshund's small legs moving at speeds you've never seen before as they all race down Cherry Street in the hopes of being recognized as the fastest!
Then head to the Ultimate Air Dogs Dock Diving Competition which will host qualifying rounds on Second Street starting at 12:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. Dogs will soar through the air as they compete for the longest dive. If you miss the first day, the competition will continue on March 19 at noon and end with finals at 5:00 p.m. Even if your pet is not entered into the competition, you can pay to have them try out a practice splash. Maybe your pooch has a hidden talent!
There's no need to hire a dog sitter this year, instead grab a leash and prepare to "em-Bark" on a fantastic day of pet-friendly activities with your best friend.
Head to our Cherry Blossom page to learn more about this year's festivities.
