Natural Awakenings Fairfield & Southern Litchfield Counties

Newtown Strut Your Mutt Dog Walk and Fair

Newtown’s 10th Annual Strut Your Mutt event will be held on May 18 from 11am to 2pm, with registration beginning at 10:30am. This dog-friendly event will include a 2K dog walk, the Strut Your Mutt Pageant, vendors from across Connecticut, prizes, games and food.

  Proceeds raised will support the Newtown Park & Bark, the off-leash dog park located on Old Farm Road in Newtown. It is run by a volunteer group of Newtown resident dog lovers who joined forces in 2009. The town provided a parcel of land. Private donations and annual fundraising events have raised funds to create and maintain the two-acre field adjacent to the animal shelter.

  Admission is $10 per dog; there is a limit of three dogs per handler. This year, they’ve added the option to create teams. Team up by breed, color, size or just buddies; a six-pack can register for just $50. Those who register before May 15 will receive a free gift.
