Dog Days of SummerMessage from Arlington Recreation August 20, 2025 Dear Arlington Community,We want to share an update regarding the annual Dog Days of Summer event. Unfortunately, the Recreation Department will not be holding the event this year. We know it has been a favorite gathering for many dog owners and community members. We truly appreciate the enthusiasm and participation it has received over the years. This past year has been a year of transition for the Recreation Department as we have moved into a new building and had a significant number of staffing and programmatic changes. We understand this may be disappointing, but we hope to bring this event back next year.While Dog Days of Summer will take a pause, we are excited to announce that we will be hosting another beer garden in collaboration with Arlington Brewing Company at Reservoir Beach this fall. This event, scheduled for October 18th, is open to residents and their canine companions. “Arlingtoberfest” will be similar in character to Oktoberfest celebrations and will feature a family-fun environment for all including our furry friends. More information to come!Hope to see you there!Natasha WadenDirector of Recreation
