Your Weekly Scoop on Local Dog-Friendly Events
Big update for you. The Bayside Bark is now officially Good Boy Guide. Same mission, same love for local dog-friendly fun, just a new name that fits where we are headed. And one more thing, we are now sending this out every week instead of every other week.
Late February is bringing the energy across Tampa Bay, and the calendar is packed. From salsa nights and line dancing with your pup to food trucks, breed meetups, trivia, drag bingo, and weekend markets, there is something happening every single day. Whether you want tacos at Two Shepherds, a bite at The Dog Bar, mimosas at Mutts & Martinis, or a sunny stroll through Dunedin, Hyde Park, or Madeira Beach, this week has you covered.
Thanks for being here and growing with us. Now grab the leash, rally your dog parent group chat, and letβs get out there
