July 18 — A Summer Party for Dogs (and Their People)
Some summer events are designed with four-legged guests in mind. Dog Days of Summer at Gizmo Brew Works is one of them.
The free event takes place July 18 from 2 PM to 8 PM and transforms the brewery's beer garden into a dog-friendly gathering with live music from 2 PM to 4 PM and again from 5 PM to 8 PM. There will also be a hot dog cart, a dessert truck, pet-friendly vendors, complimentary pup cups, doggie ice cream available for purchase, and kiddie pools where dogs can cool off and splash around.
Leashed dogs are welcome, and there's plenty planned for both pets and their people throughout the afternoon. Whether your dog is more interested in making new friends or claiming a kiddie pool for the day, there should be plenty to keep tails wagging.
It sounds like one of those events where the dogs may end up having just as much fun as the humans.Want to get your business in front of 16,996 active Raleighites? Contact us.
