WAGFest is back!
Join us for Whistler’s favourite dog-friendly summer celebration...
Packed with activities for pups and their people — mark your calendars for Sunday August 24, 2025 – all in support of our local animal shelter.
The day begins with Tails & Trails, a 5km on-leash run around Lost Lake. Then stick around for an action-packed schedule featuring agility games, local vendor booths, and a tasty BBQ lunch by Splitz Grill. Close out the afternoon with a relaxing yoga session in the park, and don’t forget to grab your tickets for our online WAGFest 50/50 fundraiser, with the winning ticket drawn at noon.
Whether you're running, cheering, exploring, or stretching — this is a fun, family-friendly, on-leash event for the whole community. Dogs attending should be comfortable around people and other pups, but even if you don’t have a dog, you’re more than welcome to join the festivities!
Come celebrate, connect, and support animals in need — we can’t wait to see you there!
