Summer in San Francisco has a way of turning an ordinary dog walk into a full-blown adventure, one minute you’re bundled up for fog near Ocean Beach, the next you’re chasing sunshine in the Presidio or zipping across the Bay for a rescue fundraiser, beer tasting, ballgame, or surf-dog spectacle. The 2026 lineup has something for every pup, leashed brewery fundraisers, pack walks, adoption events, a Giants tradition at Oracle Park, and a few East Bay day trips worth the drive, some are bring-your-own-dog outings, others are better for cheering on shelters from the sidelines. As always, details can shift, so confirm dates, tickets, weather, vaccination and leash rules, and whether your own pup is actually invited before you head out.
1. Market Street Pack Walk 2026 Season
Summer dates include Thursday, July 2; and Thursday, August 6, 2026. Meet at 5:30 PM; walk starts at 6:00 PM.
If your dog is the type who loves a good strut with the pack, the Market Street Pack Walk is the perfect excuse to leash up and head out! Every first Thursday this summer, you and your pup can join a two-mile round-trip walk down Market Street, starting at the Trinity Place Piazza Angelo courtyard — no ruff directions needed. A local dog trainer, community ambassadors, and fellow dog-loving neighbors lead the way, making it a tail-wagging good time for city-savvy pups who thrive on structure and social energy. Just make sure your furry co-pilot is leash-trained, comfortable around people and other dogs, and ready to paws and enjoy the city sidewalks — because this is one weekly walk that’s seriously pawsome.
Location: Trinity Place, Piazza Angelo courtyard, Market Street at 8th, San Francisco, CA
2. Bark n’ Brewfest
If you’re looking for a reason to raise a glass with your four-legged best friend, Bark n’ Brewfest is the ultimate fur-st round! This pet-friendly fundraiser in Burlingame brings together local brewers, adoptable animals, food, and good vibes in an outdoor setting — all while supporting the Peninsula Humane Society & SPCA, so every sip counts for a great cause. It’s the kind of event where the humans sample craft beers while the pups soak up the park atmosphere and make new furriends. Just make sure your dog is cool, calm, and collar-cted enough to handle a lively crowd — pack some water, keep your pup close in the tasting lines, and give the adoptable animals their space so everyone leaves happy, tail and all…
