Pawtriot Yappy Hour

Second Wednesday of the month starting in June @ 5:00 pm to 6:00 pm in Pemberton Garden

 

Happy (or Yappy if you prefer!) Hour is the opportunity for pet owners and their dogs to socialize with pets who love Philadelphia’s National Park.  Events will be held once a month starting in June in the garden next to the Pemberton building off Chestnut Street.  Each month will have an activity created with your puppers in mind. During the program, they can even take the oath and become an official B.A.R.K. Ranger at Independence National Historical Park.

 

Refreshments will be available for dogs and their humans.
