START THE DAY WITH GOLDEN HOUR
Before the music starts, join us from 11:00 AM–1:00 PM for Golden Hour Presented by Athletic Brewing, a special gathering celebrating Golden Retrievers and their owners from throughout the Capital Region.
Meet fellow Golden owners, visit dog-friendly vendors, take plenty of photos, and then get ready for one of the highlights of the day:
THE GOLDEN PARADE — 12:00 PM
At noon, Golden Retrievers and their owners will come together for the Golden Parade down Lark Street!
Golden Hour is designed specifically for Golden Retrievers. If you have a Golden and another breed in your family, you're welcome to bring your other dog along with your Golden.
Golden Hour runs from 11:00 AM–1:00 PM, giving everyone a little time to relax before the music begins at 1:30 PM.
