Join us for a day of Dachshund fun!!!
Calling all dashing dachshunds and their devoted owners! It's
time to mark your calendars and wag those tails for the most exhilarating event of the year – Marietta Main Street’s Dachshund Derby! This pawsitively delightful event is set to take place on
Saturday, October 19th, from 12:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. in downtown Marietta.
Prepare to strut your stuff in style as we kick off the festivities at 12:00 p.m. with a parade walk from The Armory parking lot to the gazebo at Muskingum Park. We encourage you and your fur
babies to go all out with costumes that will make tails wag and jaws drop!
But wait, there's more! Once the parade concludes, it's off to the races on the Armory Lawn at 1:00 p.m. We've got five different race categories based on age, so whether you've got a seasoned senior or a speedy pup, there's a race for everyone. And don't worry, if racing isn't your dog's cup of kibble, we've got plenty of fun contests at stations located outside various downtown businesses. It's a chance for your pooch to show off their skills and win some
pawsome prizes!
But it's not just about the glory of victory – it's also about giving back to our furry friends in need. Entry fee is $5 with proceeds going towards supporting Marietta Main Street. We also
encourage donations to The Humane Society of the Mid Ohio Valley. Every little bit helps support our four-legged pals who are still searching for their forever homes.
As if that wasn't enough excitement for one day, there will be vendors set up near the race area, including representatives from the Humane Society.
So grab your leashes, gather your doxies, and join us for a day of tail-wagging fun at Marietta Main Street’s Dachshund Derby! It's sure to be a barking good time that you and your furry friends won't soon forget.
