Where to Bring Your Pup this Summer

Our four-legged friends deserve the best summer ever too, so why not get them out and about for some local summer fun? Here’s a list of places that are pet-friendly around the 715.

Outdoor Concerts

Outdoor concerts often allow dogs, so check out an outdoor music event and bring along your pooch! The 715 has plenty to offer, including weekly music at Phoenix Park and River Prairie. Check out all of the events here.

The Brewing Projekt

The Brewing Projekt is the perfect place to have a drink with your dog, because not only do they have a lawn to relax on, but they also allow dogs inside the brewery. Grab a craft brew, enjoy the ambiance and river views with your pup beside you!

Fairfax Doggie Swim Fest
