Dog Days Festival

Dog Days Festival in Calgary, Alberta, offers a citywide hot dog tasting adventure while supporting local therapy animals through every festival dog sold. This two-week celebration invites visitors to explore participating restaurants across Calgary, each serving its own spin on a Dog Days hot dog. From classic toppings to inventive flavour combinations, guests can sample as many creations as they like, knowing $1 from every featured dog goes directly to the Pet Access League Society (PALS). Travellers can turn each meal into a feel-good outing, discovering new neighbourhood spots and revisiting favourites. With every bite helping PALS connect therapy animals with people in need, it is easy to go back again and again, making every visit a small win for the community.
