The Petworth Dog Show returns this year on Sunday, September 7th at 3pm during the Petworth In the Park, Dog Days of Summer community event at the Petworth Rec Center (801 Taylor Street NW). There will be all day music and kids activities, as well as specials from the businesses on the 800 block of Upshur Street.

The Dog Show (hosted by this really geeky guy) is a great chance to bring out your pup, show off their talents and or best costume and get a chance to win an awesome prize (plus, each participant will receive a fun gift bag). And it’s a fun time to watch and cheer on the pups and their humans! See the prize list below…

If you can’t afford the registration fee, send an email to the Petworth Main Street to get placed on a waitlist.

Betty has been a crowd favorite for a few years now!
