Dog Days of Summer returning to Bowen

The popular Dog Days festival is coming back to Bowen after several years

Dog Days is coming back to Bowen. 

Mark your calendars for August 20, 2023 - Dog Days - Resurgence, is in the planning stages. The family favourite event will be organized by Coast Animal Wellness and Education Society (CAWES) in collaboration with the wonderful USSC Marina and Doc Morgan’s folks.

The event promises to include all the old favourite games and contests and much more. It’s so exciting we had to let you know right now so you have as much time as possible to work on your best tricks, costumes (weather permitting) etc.  

We have a very famous and super fabulous MC this year too! Ms. Connie Smudge is onboard to announce all the events and tell a joke or two. Her most fabulousness is donating her time to make the day “sparkle”.

And YES - There will be a Dog Of The Year and maybe even a whole entourage - who knows? The possibilities are endless. And of course those dogs will be in the Bowfest Parade in all their glory!  

Local vendors and artists are invited to take part by renting a table for the “DD Marketplace” and any animal related non profits are also invited (space permitting).  If there is any person or organization you would like to see there please let us know and CAWES will make it their mission to bring them to our beautiful island.  

CAWES is also hoping to find wonderful volunteers to assist with the event on the day and be part of the organizing committee. If you have the time, would like to have some fun, and love our Bowen critters, please contact Kim Sinclair at 604-947-2555, or email at  [email protected]. We would love to hear from you.
