Join Fairfax County Park Authority for a howling good time at the annual Dog Daze event at The Water Mine. This season-ending event welcomes people to bring their canine friends for dogs-only swimming from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 9.
Experience the joy of watching dogs swim and have an all-around good time. The popular event once again features a canine resource fair, so you can visit pet-related vendors and learn more about fun opportunities for dogs around the county.

- Humans are not permitted in the pool.
The event is presented by Fairfax County Park Authority in partnership with Fairfax County Park Foundation.
