Mother's Day Beltline Doggie Crawl

Spoil Mom and her pup with a two-hour dog-centric crawl along the Atlanta BeltLine Eastside Trail. Enjoy dog-friendly meals, puptails, boutique shopping, and community giveaways while supporting local rescues.

Spend Mother’s Day with your four‑legged child on the Atlanta BeltLine Eastside Trail, a lively urban greenway that threads through the city’s Eastside neighborhoods near Krog Street Market. The Mother’s Day Beltline Doggie Crawl is a two‑hour guided stroll that turns restaurants, patios, and pet boutiques into a canine tasting tour, pairing gourmet dog meals and barkaritas with small plates for humans. This event centers the dog.

Stops rotate among two dog‑friendly restaurants where pups dine on prearranged entrees—past menus have included chicken Philly cheesesteaks, tacos, burgers and pup cups—while humans sample two small plates. The crawl includes puptails made with Brutus Bone Broth, shopping stops at local pet boutiques, swag bags from brands such as Piedmont Bark, Ruby’s Rootin Snootin Snuffles, Farmina Pet Foods and Thrive Pet Healthcare, and a prize for Best Dog Mom & Pup Duo. A portion of proceeds benefits local animal rescues, tying celebration to community support.

The Eastside Trail delivers more than commerce: it’s an urban green corridor. Mature oaks and sweetgums shade sections of the path, and blocks of colorful murals and converted rail infrastructure frame views back to midtown. The BeltLine itself is a long‑running redevelopment that reclaims former rail lines as public trail and park space—this crawl showcases how the corridor functions as both a neighborhood spine and weekend playground.

Practical details matter. The walk covers less than one mile and moves at an easy pace; difficulty is minimal and the route is stroller and wheelchair accessible. The crawl starts promptly at 11 a.m. near Krog Street Market; plan to arrive early for check‑in.

Booking options include an Adult with Dog ticket, Companion tickets, and up to two Additional Dogs per Adult ticket. The event is for adults 17 and older; no inside dining according to Georgia health rules. Expect rain‑or‑shine operation, with reschedules only for severe weather and free cancellations up to 48 hours prior.

Bring a secure leash, poop bags, and a travel water bowl; patios provide water bowls and some shelter. Space is limited (group size about 20), so book early if you want a Mother’s Day centered on play, bites, and community. Reserve via the provided booking link to claim your spot and spoil your dog while supporting Atlanta rescues.

Each attendee needs a ticket and Companion tickets are limited to one per Adult with Dog; you may add up to two Additional Dog tickets for a maximum of three dogs per booking. The crawl operates rain or shine—bring towels for wet pups—and foods are prearranged with no substitutions. Drinks and boutique purchases are extra.

Check in promptly at 11 a.m., and call the organizer if you are running late to avoid missed tastings and forfeited refunds.
