19th Annual Riverwalk Mutts and Martinis™

Join us for the 19th Annual Riverwalk Mutts & Martinis™

Saturday, March 21, 2026, will be a tail-wagging afternoon of fun along Fort Lauderdale’s scenic Riverwalk! This beloved community tradition brings together dog lovers, their four-legged companions, and the vibrant Riverwalk neighborhood for an unforgettable celebration of all things canine, and of course -martinis. Whether you’re attending with your pup or simply stopping by to enjoy the festivities, you’ll find plenty to smile about throughout the afternoon. Guests can cheer on adorable competitors in the Peanut Butter Eating Contest, admire creative and stylish looks during the Doggie Fashion Show, and browse a variety of pet-themed vendors offering treats, accessories, and unique finds for dogs and dog lovers alike. Plus, don’t miss your chance to win exciting raffle prizes designed especially for pets and their people.

To pre-register for the Peanut Butter Eating Contest or the Doggie Fashion Show, please email Events@GoRiverwalk.com. Day-of registration will also be available at the Riverwalk tent located at the northeast entrance of the park.

A highlight of the event is its strong focus on pet rescue and adoption.

Local shelters and rescue organizations will be on site, providing a wonderful opportunity to meet dogs in need of loving homes and to connect with the dedicated groups working tirelessly to find them their perfect match. It’s a feel-good afternoon where fun meets purpose — and where fur-ever friendships may begin.
