Yorktown Market Days – Paws at the River at Riverwalk Landing (Yorktown)

Who let the dogs out? We don’t know, but we’re sure glad they did because the annual Paws at the River event is one you and your furry sidekick don’t want to miss!
This special day is designed to bring awareness to animal rescue organizations and help place adoptable pets in their “furever” homes. We’ll have a pet portrait station, delicious doggy delights, and informational booths. Riverwalk Landing will be filled with vendors selling seasonal produce; fresh baked goods; meats; fresh-cut flowers; honey; and more! You’re sure to have a doggone good time!

The free, accessible Yorktown Trolley will be in operation beginning at 11 a.m. during this event.
