Hey Puptopians! The weekend is officially (almost) here. It’s time to enjoy the fall with some fantastically fun and exciting weekend plans this October! Grab a leash and get your puppy out and about in NYC with these great dog-friendly events in the city this weekend. From Central Park Fair to DogFest, these are the places you and your pup should be this upcoming weekend!

My Dog Loves Central Park Fair

Central Park and Fair in the same sentence? We’re down for that! This Saturday head to Central Park with your pup and enjoy all the fun your pup can handle! Last year the event saw games, agility courses, dancing and a whole lot more. This year there’s even more in store for fair goers and their furry friends, like trainer tips, mini makeovers, pet selfies and micro-chipping. All in all, It’s set to be a fantastic event hosted by Central Park Paws, a program that benefits the dogs and dog owners who enjoy long walks and sunny days in Central Park.

The event runs from 11:00am until 3:00pm and is an on-lead event, so remember to put your pup on a leash before you head out for the day.
