Spoil your four-legged friends with a day outdoors filled with tail-wagging fun!

Did you know that Bernheim welcomes more than 12,000 dogs each year? We love seeing our canine companions exploring nature with their humans, so we’re celebrating them in a big way!

On Saturday, June 7, Bernheim will go to the dogs at Paws in Nature, a festival celebrating our furry best friends. Enjoy activities for dogs and their humans, meet fellow dog lovers, and discover unique goodies from local artists and vendors specializing in pet products. Local food trucks will offer tasty options throughout the day, and Isaac’s Cafe will feature special treats crafted just for dogs.

Activities

• Agility Course – Test your dog’s skills with jumps and weave poles on a fun, beginner-friendly course.

• Arts and Crafts – Create paw-some keepsakes together, like paw print art to remember the day.

• Treat Scavenger Hunts – Let your pup’s nose lead the way in a sniff-tastic scavenger hunt for hidden goodies around the event.

• Splash Zone – Cool down with a refreshing play area featuring kiddie pools and sprinklers for dogs to splash and play.

• Family Photo Opp – Capture the fun with our charming photo spot, perfect for snapping an adorable picture of you and your pup with a scenic Bernheim backdrop.

• Stick Library – Pick a stick, leave a stick! Browse a curated collection of “dog-approved” sticks sourced right from the Bernheim grounds for a simple, tail-wagging delight.
