Dog Events in Avon, IN

Grab your sneakers and Fido's leash to head out for a 5K event. After the race, participants can enjoy fun fall activities for the whole family. A 10K and a 1-mile kids' fun run are also taking place.

Bring Fido along to this fun event offering two separate distances: a half marathon and a 5K. Each race is 15 minutes apart.

Enjoy free treats for your pup, earn reward points and join the coloring contest! Plus, guests will receive holiday safety tips to keep your pets happy and healthy this season.

Watch the fun unfold at the Pie-Eating Contest, where dogs dive snout-first into pumpkin and whipped cream for a friendly feast-off. Share your thankfulness on the Thankful Board, which will remain up through Thanksgiving for everyone to enjoy. Register in advance via their app for a smooth entry! Proof of vaccines are required to enter (rabies, distemper combo, and bordetella).

You and your leashed pup are invited to run alongside other participants in this 5K race on Thanksgiving morning!

Take a stroll with Fido through the historic district adorned with twinkling lights and festive decorations, while costumed carolers fill the air with classic holiday tunes. Guests can enjoy horse-drawn carriage rides, period-inspired entertainment, and unique shopping at local vendors offering handcrafted gifts. Savor seasonal treats and warm beverages as you take in the sights and sounds of this magical celebration. Please note the event gets busy, as over 2,000 people are in attendance.

Alliance for Responsible Pet Ownership (ARPO) will be offering pet photos with Santa! Photos can be emailed or printed on site. The first photo is $15 and extras are $10 each. There will also be wooden frames available for purchase.

Bring your furry friend to visit Santa, pose for festive photos under the mistletoe (bring your own camera), and get a free caricature drawing. Holiday drinks will also be available on site.

Enjoy photos with Santa, a caricature artist, a beer, wine & hot cocoa bar, and “Smooch Your Pooch” under the mistletoe. Chat with local pet-friendly businesses and give back to the Hamilton County Humane Society through their Amazon Wishlist while spreading holiday cheer.

Bring your pup to this photo op event for a festive day of fun! Treat your dog to free pup cups and discounts.
