Calling all costumed doggos!

Bring your pup out for costume contests and snap a pic of your four-legged companion at the Pumpkin Village.

This year’s special costume category is “A Hint of Haunts,” so bring your pooches dressed as Halloween characters and let the ghosts and witches strut their stuff on the stage. Browse the dog-friendly vendors and delight your furry friends with special treats.

Bring Your Own Bowl


We will have water refill and doggie bag stations on the property. Please BYOBowl to fill and refill with water for your dog.

If you don’t have a collapsible bowl and want something that’s easy to carry around, try making one out of materials you could already have at home. Like this one from a dog food bag or this one from a cereal box and bag.

For more information on why we no longer provide communal bowls, check out this article from the AKC and this article from Preventative Vet.

Please keep all pet friends on leash at Cheekwood and do not bring them into any of the buildings.
