Downtown Tiffin will host its annual Barking Lot Party on Thursday, May 21, from 5 to 8 p.m. as part of the Third Thursday event series.
The free, pet-friendly event will be centered at City Parking Lot 7 on South Washington Street, with activities and participating businesses spread throughout the downtown district. Attendees are welcome to bring their dogs.
Planned activities include a dog obstacle course, games, paw-manicures, themed photo opportunities, and pup-cup treats. Downtown retailers will offer sidewalk specials and giveaways. Grab-and-go food options will be available from downtown restaurants and food trucks along Court Street.
City Lot 7 will serve as the main event hub and will feature community vendors and live music by Paul Grover. The lot will be closed to vehicle parking during the event. All other city parking lots will remain open, with the exception of City Lot 4.
For safety, all dogs must remain on a leash. Organizers ask that attendees not bring dogs that are aggressive toward other animals, children, or strangers.
“Events like this not only create memorable experiences for the whole family, but also support our local businesses and showcase the energy and creativity happening throughout our downtown,” said Tiffin Mayor Lee Wilkinson. “I encourage everyone to come out, enjoy the evening, and be part of the fun.”
Third Thursday events are supported by Reineke Family Dealerships and UIS Insurance & Investments.
