Get ready for a tail-waggin’, tongue-out, paws-on-the-path kind of evening at Meadowlark Botanical Gardens! This special sunset closing in the Gardens celebrates Pup Stroll Wednesdays in style. Bring your best furry friend and a paws-itively good time! 

Dog Days of Summer Style-Off | 5-8pm – Pups and people, bring your best summer style and strut it together! 

Food Truck Fare | 5-8pm – hot DOGS, funnel cakes, hot pretzels, donut holes, and, of course, pup cups will be available for sale at the Breezy Bites Food Truck while supplies last!

Blossom Bar | 5-8pm – enjoy refreshing beers, wine, and a fruity PAWseco available for sale!  ID required.   

Pup Power Walk | 5:30-6:15pm – leash up for a paws-itively energizing and guided walk on the woodland trails.  Meet at the Garden Patio next to the Visitor Center.  We will end up at the Food Truck at the end of our power walk.    

Bacon-Flavored Bubbles | 7pm – (Near the Food Truck)  Because every good dog deserves to live their best sniffing life!

Sniff out new friends, chase golden hour, and enjoy a fetching evening in the Gardens.  A GGRRReat way to kick off summer!
