The Suns out! Spring 2020 Fur Ball Activities

Raise your hand if you’re tired of this rainy winter weather! We definitely are. Rain does bring pretty flowers. The daffodils are blooming already, which means spring is right around the corner.

This week we’ve cultivated a list of the best fur ball-friendly spring activities in Metro Atlanta. Did we miss something? Comment and share below!

1. Piedmont Park Doggie Dash 2020 – March 15: proceeds benefit the Piedmont Park Conservancy and there are two distance options for participants to choose from. Come for the exercise, stay for the swag.
2. 2020 Brookhaven Spring Bark Festival – April 4: fun for the whole family, including the furry ones. You’ll find live music, an easter egg hunt, pooch parades, drinks, and more!
