Lafayette, Colorado, and its neighboring areas offer a variety of dog-friendly events and festivals that are perfect for you and your furry friend. These local gatherings provide a wonderful opportunity to enjoy the outdoors, meet fellow dog lovers, and make lasting memories with your pet.

One of the standout events is the Lafayette Peach Festival, held annually in late summer. While this festival celebrates all things peach, it’s also a dog-friendly event where you can stroll the streets with your pup, sample delicious peach treats, and explore vendor booths. Many vendors even offer dog-friendly treats, ensuring your pet enjoys the day as much as you do. Be sure to check out our Dogtopia booth if you come to this festival!

Just a short drive away, Boulder hosts the Boulder Valley Humane Society’s Puttin’ On The Leash gala. This fundraising event combines a lively atmosphere with a great cause—helping homeless animals find forever homes. The event includes a silent auction, live entertainment, and a chance to meet adoptable pets. Although it’s more of a human-centered event, well-behaved dogs on leash are welcome to attend and enjoy the festivities.

For something more active, check out the Boulder Reservoir’s Dog Dayz. This annual event is a dog swimming extravaganza, where dogs are allowed to swim and play in the reservoir before it closes for the season. It’s a fantastic way for your dog to cool off, exercise, and socialize with other dogs in a safe and fun environment.

Finally, don’t miss out on the Lafayette Farmers Market, which runs throughout the summer and early fall. It’s a dog-friendly market where you can browse fresh produce, artisan goods, and enjoy live music—all while your dog gets to enjoy the social scene and maybe even snag a treat or two from local vendors.
