Lucky Dog Lure Coursing
The lure course will be open throughout the festival — just bring your dog to the grass area to join the fun! Additional fees apply.
If your dog loves to chase squirrels, bunnies, or even blowing leaves, lure coursing is a safe and exciting way to tap into those natural instincts. An artificial lure moves across the field in a pattern designed to simulate prey, giving dogs the thrill of the chase in a controlled environment.
Hosted by Lucky Dogs Lure Coursing, this scaled-down, all-dogs-welcome experience uses a continuous-loop system with adjustable speeds to accommodate every size, breed, and athletic ability. It’s a fun, healthy way for dogs to burn energy, stay active, and have an absolute blast! 🐕
Bar, Food & Live Music Lineup
It’s not every day you can enjoy great eats and live music alongside hundreds of dogs! Soak in the sounds of live entertainment, grab a bite from one of our delicious food trucks, and sip on a refreshing cocktail while you and your pup enjoy the festivities. 🐾🎶
