May I bring my dog to Fiesta del Sol?
We love dogs! However, if you choose to bring your furry friend, please keep them on a non-retractable leash no longer than six feet. Don’t forget to bring plenty of poo bags and dispose of your dog’s waste properly.

Keep in mind that Fiesta Del Sol can get very crowded. Even the most well-behaved dogs may become anxious or uncomfortable, especially if their paws or tails accidentally get stepped on. Additionally, be aware of what your dog might find on the ground—kids (and adults) tend to drop all sorts of things, including potentially harmful items like food or edibles that could make your dog sick. For these reasons, we generally recommend leaving your four-legged friend at home.
