Whiskers, Wags, and Shopping Bags
1st Saturday in May - see you all in 2026!!
Dog-friendly block party on Mill Street, Utica.
Games, vendors, Doxie Derby, fun for all.
Whiskers, Wags, & Shopping Bags: May 3rd, 2025!
what is it?
Whiskers, Wags, & Shopping Bags is Food, Fun, and Fundraising with Fido to kick start May! We are kicking our Annual Block Party up a notch and taking over Mill Street. You can also visit the new Market on Mill Retail Plaza that opens the same day! Restaurants, vendors, games, fundraising opportunities, demonstrations, family and fido-friend! The event runs from 11am-4pm!
why do we do it?
Every year, our block party not only gets a slew of friendly dogs and their humans to hang out in one spot, but we get to raise money for local low cost/free spay/neuter and microchip programs at the same time! As of the end of 2024, No Animal Left Behind has raised over $70,000 for non-profits that provide these services--our Annual Block Party keeps that going.
