Thank you for making our first Holiday Paws a reality 🐾

Our community showed up, bundled up, and turned downtown into a pet-friendly winter celebration. Holiday Paws will be back next year — and you can help us make it even bigger, better, and more impactful.

From idea to tradition — because of you

Holiday Paws started as a simple idea: bring people, pets, and local businesses together to celebrate the season downtown.
Because of you — our neighbors, vendors, performers, volunteers, and city supporters — that idea became a real, tail-wagging, bell-ringing block pawty.

Thank you for showing up, dressing up your pups, shopping small, sipping, strolling, and helping us launch something new for our community. This first year was just the beginning.

Help us grow Holiday Paws for next year

Built by Community, For Community

Even though the event is over, the work continues behind the scenes. Your support right now helps us:

  • Secure more vendors, activities, and entertainment

  • Invest in better infrastructure (heating, lighting, accessibility, signage, etc.)

  • Create more free and low-cost experiences for families and pet parents

  • Keep Holiday Paws financially sustainable as it grows

If you enjoyed this year — or wish you could’ve made it — you can still be part of the story.
