Doughnuts + Dogs
Saturday, May 30th @ Pemberton House Garden
There is nothing better on a Saturday morning than a cup of coffee and the taste of a doughnut while enjoying Philadelphia’s National Park… unless of course you bring your pup! Doughnuts + Dogs is a chance for pet owners and their dogs to socialize with other folks and pets who love our National Park. The morning events will be held in the garden next to the Pemberton building off Chestnut Street. During this event, your dog will have the opportunity to take the oath and become an official B.A.R.K. Ranger at Independence National Historical Park.
Coffee and Doughnuts will be available for the humans with special treats for the dogs
