We will have water refill and doggie bag stations on the property. Please BYOBowl to fill and refill with water for your dog.

If you don’t have a collapsible bowl and want something that’s easy to carry around, try making one out of materials you could already have at home. Like this one from a dog food bag or this one from a cereal box and bag.

For more information on why we no longer provide communal bowls, check out this article from the AKC and this article from Preventative Vet.

Please keep all pet friends on leash at Cheekwood and do not bring them into any of the buildings.

Fall Break Friday Night Hoedown

As the sun dips below the horizon, our new evening event at Cheekwood Harvest this year will come alive. The Friday Hoedown is a lively soirée of fall fun with square dancing, free mechanical bull rides, make your own herb popcorn, and seasonal food and libations. There are a kaleidoscope of autumnal delights to explore throughout the gardens, from the Pumpkin Village to the Scarecrow Trail to the P’mumkin topiary. Watch the Opry Square Dancers perform and then join in and learn a new step or two. No experience is required, just a willingness to do-si-do with your partner.

Please note: the Historic Mansion & Museum will be closed this evening.
