Dogs by the Bay 2026
Dogs by the Bay is a joyful, dog-friendly celebration in downtown Sausalito bringing together residents, visitors, local businesses, and animal-welfare organizations for a day dedicated to our four-legged friends.
The festivities begin with the Waterfront Dog Parade from Trident to Gabrielson Park at 10:30 AM, followed by a lively Dog Costume Contest at 11:30 AM. Bring your best-dressed pup and join the fun as Sausalito’s creative spirit takes center stage along the waterfront.
Throughout the day, visitors can enjoy live music in Gabrielson Park at 1:00 PM and 4:00 PM, explore dog-centric vendors along Tracy Way, and connect with local charities and community partners. Special activities include meeting adoptable dogs with Love’s Legacy Rescue, a Guide Dogs for the Blind training demonstration, and Kids Dog Art Day at P.A.I.N.T. Art Collective.
