Dog Boarding in Lynchburg

Chalk Festival

As the summer draws to a close, the Riverfront Chalk and Art Festival brings the Lynchburg community to the parking lot near the downtown mural for a day of art and community. This block party will not only be the site of dozens of local aspiring artists laying down their next big piece, but will also feature food trucks, family games, and other summertime favorites. Entry to the festival is only $3 per person, but artists looking to participate in the art contest are responsible for additional fees. Leashed dogs are welcome, but they might walk away with colorful paws.

Wags & Wine

Wine down with your favorite canine at Lazy Days Winery on their Sangria Saturday series meant especially for dogs! Live music will be playing the majority of the day with drink specials at the ready for a day of lazy summertime sunshine in the vineyard. Leashed dogs are welcome to explore the sweeping vineyard with their humans while enjoying a local Lynchburg glass of red or white. Admission to Sangria Saturdays is free, and the views of the Blue Ridge Mountains are absolutely priceless.

Bluegrass, Barbeque, and Brews Festival

Give me bluegrass, barbecue, and brews or give me death! Kicking off on Patrick Henry Red Hill, the Bluegrass, Barbecue, and Brews Festival brings all of the best parts of the American South into one historical landscape. Enjoy a local Virginia brew and barbeque platter while listening to the sweet sounds of the banjo with your furry friend. This event is for folks of all ages, though drinking tickets are only available to those over the age of 21. Tickets include a free glass, two tastings, and access to food and music for only $20.

International Festival

In Downtown Lynchburg at Rivertown Park, the City of Lynchburg puts on the International Festival, bringing the diversity of the city to the forefront for all to experience. There will be live music and dancing demonstrations, all sorts of different international foods and crafts, and games for the kids. Experience the traditional dance of the Monacan Indian tribe or a spicy rice platter from the Philippines. Admission is free, and leashed animals are welcome so long as they can tolerate crowds. Join Lynchburg locals in celebrating the cultures of the world each year!

Dog Jog

If you are looking for a way to stay fit and give to a great cause, the Boonsboro VCA Animal Hospital puts on an annual Dog Jog. Most recently, the Dog Jog benefited the Lynchburg Police Department’s K9 Department by raising money for bulletproof vests. This 5K run spans all throughout Lynchburg, and participants are given a t-shirt with registration. The cost to participate is $30, and racers have access to several vendors following the finish. Dogs participate for free so long as handlers only have one.
