Dog Events in North Crows Nest, IN

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

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.

On select Thursdays in December, bring your furry friends, big or small, and watch them strike adorable poses with Santa! Pet Photos will be located at the Santa Hut near the Dog Park. Photos will be taken and available for purchase at this event. Reservations are not required for this event.
