The best dog friendly neighborhoods in Evanston

Pooch-A-Palooza

It's party time at the Pooch-A-Palooza! This event is hosted by Quad Indoor Sports in Evanston once a year. Owners and their pets come out to see the vendors, demonstrations and to participate in games for paw-ty animals. Activities include an agility course, play area, contests, games, and prizes. Puppies must be potty trained and all dogs must be on a leash. The event is held in October, so your pet can compete in a Halloween costume and plan for there to be dog appropriate tricks and treats! The event is held in an indoor sporting arena, so rain or shine, it's a chance to come together to enjoy the dogs.

Montrose Dog Beach

Play on the beach along Lake Michigan at the Montrose Dog Beach just south of town in Chicago! A corner of the beach is fenced and legally designated for off-leash dog play. The beach offers doggie bags for quick clean-ups. There is also a dog wash area - a great idea for rinsing off the sand before heading home! The beach is free but dogs are required to have a DFA tag to guarantee rabies vaccinations to keep all in the area safe. The beach is run by a group called Mondog, started in 2000 by a group of people who love the beach and walking their dogs. Make sure your pooch has a good recall before coming to this spot!

Thursday Night Free Live Music

Summer nights are made special when you can bring your dog to downtown Evanston for free concerts on the plaza! The ten-concert series features a range of music styles, including jazz, swing, rock, and classics like the Beatles. It offers an evening of relaxation, dancing, and entertainment. There are also games for children at each event. An outdoor to-do, your dog will need to be leashed and well socialized to accompany you.

Spooky Pooch Parade

Celebrate "Howl-o-ween" with a special visit to the Chicago Botanical Gardens for the Spooky Pooch Parade! There is a parade route for costumed canines to strut around and show their stylings. In addition to the parade, there are contests, judgings, and prizes for categories like Best Costume, Best Dog/Owner Costume, Best Puppy in Costume, and Best Senior in Costume. Information and goods are available from local nonprofit groups and vendors. Dogs must be leashed and there is a registration fee to bring your spooky pooch on the property. All dogs must remain leashed at all times.

Chicago White Sox Dog Day

For two games a year, you can take your dog to the ball "bark" to see the Chicago White Sox! Tickets are sold on a first come, first serve basis and are quickly sold out. Fans get to walk their dog on the ballfield before the game. Some lucky dogs even get to eat a hot dog! There are comfort stations for the pooches, veterinarians on hand, and special dog tickets. The animals in attendance must be leashed and well socialized. It's sure to be fun to watch and enjoy the game - and the four-legged fans!
