Dog-Friendly Events in Dumfries and Galloway

Dumfries and Galloway has a packed calendar of outdoor events, country shows, walking festivals and community gatherings — and many of them actively welcome well-behaved dogs. From the Galloway Country Fair to guided ranger walks through the forest, there's plenty to keep you and your four-legged companion entertained throughout the year.

We highlight events where dogs are explicitly welcomed. Always check the event's own website for the latest information on dog policies, as these can change year to year.
