🐾 Golden HourPresented by Athletic Brewing
A Celebration of Golden Retrievers & Golden Doodles
About Golden Hour
Golden Hour is a special gathering created exclusively for Golden Retrievers, Golden Doodles, and their owners.
The morning begins with registration, socializing, photos, sponsor displays, and dog-friendly vendors before transitioning into the Golden Parade.
At 12:00 PM everyone gathers for the Golden Parade down historic Lark Street.
Following the parade we'll take one large group photo before Lark Out Loud begins at 1:30 PM.
Golden Hour is intended to become an annual tradition for Albany and the Capital Region.
Goldens & Doodles
A gathering created exclusively for Golden Retrievers, Golden Doodles, and the people who love them.
The Golden Parade
At noon we all walk historic Lark Street together — dozens of wagging tails in one place.
One Big Group Photo
Right after the parade we capture the whole Golden crew in a single photograph.
