The 13th Annual Cardiff Dog Days of Summer is presented by Cardiff 101 Main Street and the City of Encinitas. This free event features over 100 dog-related vendors, rescue groups, pet adoption agencies, and a carefully curated “Maker’s Market Row”.  Activities include dog contests, live music, kids activities, beer & wine garden, food trucks, and more.

The event’s special features are the “Rescue Row” presented by Rancho Coastal Humane Society and the Pet Health Expo presented by the City of Encinitas. Last year’s event drew over 5,000 attendees throughout the day.  This 2018, we expect an estimated 8,000 to attend.

“The City of Encinitas was very happy to have partnered with Cardiff 101 Main Street on such as wonderful community event.” - Jennifer Campbell, Director of Parks, Recreation and Culture

At the event you will find the carefully curated “Maker’s Market Row” with quality handmade goods and opportunities to connect with local artisans.  The “Rescue Row” presented by Rancho Coastal Humane Society and sponsored by John Stevenson Plumbing, will be the place to adopt a pet from numerous featured rescue groups. A record 21 dogs were adopted on site last year!  Check out the City of Encinitas “Pet Health Expo” area to visit for on-site pet services including microchipping, licensing opportunities, rabies vaccination and pet care information provided by San Diego Humane Society.

"While we celebrate the Cardiff Dog Days of Summer one day each year, every day is a great day to be a dog in Cardiff. Dogs are part of the family. We take them with us everywhere. They go with us in the car, at the park, or for a hike by the beach. In Cardiff, every day is a dog day." - Jim Silveira, President, Rancho Coastal Humane Society.
