Bark in the Park

Our annual 5k walk and morning of fun is held the first Saturday in May along beautiful Lake Michigan. in Montrose Harbor. This walk brings together thousands of dog lovers, most with their dogs, to enjoy a leisurely walk, participate in fun activities such as; contests, agility courses, dog massages, dog nail clipping, and refreshments for both the dogs and their companions. A small business pavilion provides an opportunity to promote brand recognition for your company and to communicate with an audience of diverse pet owners and active individuals from around Chicagoland. There are a variety of sponsorship levels to choose from. Your company can also choose to support Bark in the Park by forming a corporate fundraising team. Your company will benefit from the increased visibility within the community that this event provides.

Canine Cruise

Our annual canine cruise kicks off Mercury Cruiseline's cruise season in late June. This 90-minute architectural cruise along the river and onto Lake Michigan allows over 100 dogs to relax with their  companions and enjoy a splashing evening complete with treats for the pups. This event provides a great opportunity to gain exposure to pet owners that pamper their pooches.
