Dog Events in Bokeelia, FL

Leash up and lace up for this annual event that benefits the Gulf Coast Humane Society! Choose between the classic chip-timed 5K run/walk (perfect for runners, walkers, and pups of all paces) or take on the hilarious Pizza Run, where you’ll eat a slice, run a quarter mile, and repeat until you’ve conquered four slices and a full mile. After the race, keep the fun going with a post-run pizza party at Grimaldi’s. Water bowls and treats will be available, and there will be photo ops to capture you and your furry friend on the run!

Leashed dogs are welcome at this annual event where you can meet and visit with some of the nation’s best crafters while enjoying the charming streets of Punta Gorda. Local and national artists will showcase a diverse range of fine art, including sculptures, jewelry, woodwork, paintings and wearable art.

Kick off your holiday shopping with our leashed pup at this free outdoor event featuring handcrafted goods from talented artisans and crafters from across the country. Stroll downtown Punta Gorda while browsing unique jewelry, home décor, artwork, specialty foods, and more in a festive waterfront setting.

Enjoy festive performances from The Dance Lounge, live Christmas music, contests and more. Santa will light the tree and lead the season’s first light show, then stay for photos and a family sing-along.
