Dog Events in Kenner, LA

Dat Dog Magazine hosts this annual fundraiser benefiting Zeus’ Rescues. Dogs can strut their stuff in a costume contest featuring six categories, including Best Couple, Best Family, Best Group, Best Solo, Best in Show, and Crowd Favorite, with prizes judged by local artists and costume designers. Registration requires a donation of money or pet supplies. A donation drive for rescue dogs and cats runs all day, with photo opportunities and family-friendly fun.

Bring Fido along to kick off the holiday season! The event will have holiday-themed floats with special effects and audio systems, plus, high flying helium balloons and more than a dozen dancing groups and marching bands. Please ensure your pup is well-behaved and remains on a leash. The parade will start from The French Market with an extended route through downtown.

The Arthritis Foundation’s race is the original festive race for charity with your pup. It’s where you can strut your stuff in your favorite holiday costume. Bring a team of friends, family, and co-workers to run or walk. Please ensure your dog is kept on a leash. Check-in starts at 8 AM and the race begins at 9 AM.

Enjoy over one million twinkling lights on a 2.25-mile driving tour through the park with Fido! A limited number of tickets will be sold per day and time slot. All tickets must be purchased online in advance. Please note that pets are welcome on the driving tour, but aren't permitted on the walking tour and cannot be left in the car without you.
