Coastal Canine Classic

Come. Sit. Stay. Fetch the whole family for a dog-gone good getaway to Florence, Oregon, October 16–18, 2026! The inaugural Coastal Canine Classic is bounding into Oregon’s Coastal Playground for three tail-wagging days of dogs, laughter, friendly competition, shopping, entertainment, and family fun. Dog lovers from Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Nevada, California, and beyond are invited to pack the leash, load up the treats, and plan an unforgettable fall weekend on the Oregon Coast. The fun begins Friday with dog-themed movies, a Meet & Greet Yappy Hour, games, snacks, and raffle prizes. Saturday and Sunday bring the action to the Florence Events Center with a Vendor Fair, professional Pooch & Pals photo sessions, dog show, tricks and talents competition, fashion-show catwalk, agility challenge, and the hilariously splashy Bobbing for Wieners competition. Visitors can also sniff around Historic Old Town Florence, exploring participating dog-friendly shops filled with treats, surprises, and treasures. And there is even more to sniff out! Shop the canine Vendor Fair, enjoy Florence Oregon restaurants, explore Old Town Florence Oregon, and discover some of the best dog-friendly things to do on the Oregon Coast. Whether your pup is ready to compete, strut, perform, shop, or simply collect belly rubs, there is something paw-some waiting for every dog lover. Humans without dogs are welcome too!
