Event Details

Corgi Con

Get ready for a day of stubby legs, fluffy butts, and serious Corgi competition at Corgi Con, the annual celebration of all things Corgi. Bring your Corgi, your “incorgnito” pup, or just yourself to watch the fluff-filled festivities.

The day’s highlights include Mickey’s Derby, home of the “Original” Corgi Races, where pups compete to see who’s the fastest loaf in the West; Corgi Ninja Warrior, featuring tunnels, hoops, and weave poles; and the Corgi Costume Contest, where Corgis dress up as everything from superheroes to snack foods. There’s also a Corgi Market with 20+ vendors selling Corgi swag, pup products, and adorable gifts.

Corgi Con is open to everyone, but humans need a ticket to attend. Tickets are sold online in advance and on event day, with discounted online pricing available through September 25. Contest registration is required to participate and is open through September 6. And yes, this is an exclusive dog event: pets aren’t permitted at the Fairgrounds during other events, so this is your pup’s time to shine.
