2020 WMDachtoberFest
Virtual Long Dog Festival Update

Washington Metro DachtoberFest Foundation is excited to announce the "WMDachtoberFest 2020 Long Dog Festival, a Virtual Fundraising Event". When WMDF made the difficult decision of this year to cancel the 2020 Fest in Frederick, Maryland, we hoped that we could still put on an Event for all of our dedicated Fest Fans and we achieved that goal! With activities and programming planned throughout the ENTIRE month of October 2020, you will be able to enjoy the Fest from the comfort of your home!

This blog is packed with event information so please be patient while scrolling through. :)
A virtual Blessing of Pets and Animals will be celebrated on Saturday, October 3, 2020. This year we have several ministers who have graciously offered their time to offer blessings though both public and private settings. A Public Blessing celebration will be streamed to Facebook Live at the top of the hour at 11:00am, 12:00pm and 1:00pm. Private individual blessings will be offered between 11:00am and 2:00pm on Zoom.

Seats are limited. Reserve your time for a private individual blessing today.
