One of our favorite LI‑DOG Pack Walks™ of the season is back, and we’re ready to have a pawsitively amazing time!
Old Westbury Gardens is once again opening its gorgeous estate grounds to people and their pups for their Spring "Dog Days" Weekend - which runs Sat., April 18th and Sun., April 19th - the perfect chance to shake off winter and spring into adventure!
🐶 Dog-Friendly Weekend Highlights
Saturday, April 18th – Spring "Dog Days" Weekend & Dog Festival (10am – 6pm)
Rescues, advocacy groups like LI-DOG, and vendors offering treats, toys, and gear — it’s basically a doggie dream mall.
Starting at 11am, LI-DOG will lead a guided, one‑hour Pack Walk™, through the blooming, English‑themed gardens. Expect beautiful scenery, fresh spring air, and plenty of sniff‑worthy stops for your four‑legged explorers.
- Easy, mostly flat terrain (no need to huff and puff)
- Option to shorten the route if your pup prefers a lighter trot
- Endless photo ops for those Instagram‑worthy pup‑arazzi moments
- Please bring poop bags — let’s keep the gardens looking paw‑fect
- Please NO RETRACTABLE leashes
Sunday, April 19th
The grounds are once open again from 10am - 6pm, for you and your dog to explore on your own! There will be no vendors on Sunday.
