Have you ever seen streets filled with gold? I have. On one crisp day in February, the streets of Golden, Colorado, literally run with gold… the glorious golden coats of thousands of Golden Retrievers! For one afternoon each year, the town becomes a mecca for Golden Retrievers, Golden mixes, and their human families. People come from far and wide to connect with other owners and meet as many sweet pups as possible. I got the inside scoop from Visit Golden, to learn more. Find out what this “paw-some” day is all about and how you can participate.

The dogs congregate, showing off their luxurious coats in an adorable parade down Washington Avenue, the town’s famed historic main street. Washington Avenue shuts down to traffic, dog-centered vendor booths, activities, and plenty of food and beverage specials are happening throughout town. There are endless photo opportunities and plenty of connections to make.
