Event Calendar
From paw-some pool parties to vineyard yappy hours and coastal dog parades that make Mardi Gras look tame, California knows how to throw a party for your pup. These aren’t just leash-optional affairs—they’re full-blown celebrations where four-legged guests get VIP treatment, complete with splash zones, costume contests, dog beer (yes, really), and plenty of butt-sniffing diplomacy. Whether you’re chilling under the redwoods with live music and gourmet food trucks or watching your floof surf waves in Santa Cruz, dog-friendly events in California aren’t an afterthought—they’re a lifestyle. You bring the treats. Your dog brings the vibe. California does the rest.
