Splish Splash Doggie Bash

Splish Splash Doggie Bash is back at Piedmont Park on October 2 and 3, 2027, for another weekend of dogs and their owners spending time in the water. It's a two-day event, so you've got a couple of options for when to bring your dog along.

The main draw is pool time—dogs getting in the water and splashing around—and the community side of it, with other dog owners there. If your dog is the type that loves to jump in and stay in, this is exactly that. It's a weekend dedicated to letting them do their thing in the water while you hang out with other people who bring their dogs to the park.

There's a practical side to it, too: the proceeds from the event go toward the park's dog parks. So while your dog is getting their pool time in, the money is going back into the spaces where Atlanta dogs spend their days. It's a straightforward trade—a weekend of splashing for the dogs, and a bit of support for the parks they use every other day of the year.

It runs across the weekend of October 2 and 3 at Piedmont Park in Atlanta, with pool time and community fun for dogs as the main event. If you're planning to go, keep in mind it's a two-day affair, so you can pick the day that works best for you.
