Golden Tails Gathering is being held at the Golden Riverfront Campground, 872 McBeath Road, Nicholson, BC.

$5 - $100 depending on ticket type. See the registration page for more details.

Golden Tails Gathering is a ticketed event. Registration helps cover the real costs of hosting a safe and fun dog-friendly event, including the venue, insurance, safety planning, signage, waste management, activities, and event amenities.

Where does the money go?
After event costs, a minimum of 50% of proceeds will be donated to non-profit rescue organizations. Your ticket helps bring the Golden community together while supporting dogs who need care, placement, and second chances.

It will be early Fall in the mountains... weather can change quickly so be prepared

• For the dogs:
  • Leash, collar/harness, towel, costume, medications, water, snacks, poop bags.
  • There will be communal dog water stations (4) set up around the event site.
• For the humans:
  • Layers of clothing, comfortable walking shoes (we're on a field with gopher holes), water, hat, fully charged phone battery - so many photos to be taken...
  • Seating: there will be limited seating; if you'd like to bring a lawn or camping chair, please feel free to do so.

Yes! 

We don't recommend attending. While the event is mostly on-leash there are no guarantees with animal behaviour. Refunds are not given if your dog goes into heat/you're unable to attend.

The short answer is no. Tickets are non-refundable & the event is rain or shine. See the registration page for more information.
