Yappy Hour

Tuesdays, June 9, 16, 23 & 30, 2026. 5-7 p.m. Kellogg Mall Park. Free.

Dog lovers and their pets are invited to downtown Saint Paul for Yappy Hour, a weekly outdoor gathering featuring live music, food trucks, lawn games and an off-leash dog park experience. Organized by Saint Paul Parks and Recreation, the June series includes performances by local musicians alongside rotating food vendors and pet-focused businesses. Gambit Brewing will provide beverages for purchase, while activities and open lawn space encourage socializing among both pets and owners. Organizers say the event is intended to activate downtown public spaces while creating a relaxed, pet-friendly atmosphere for residents and visitors. The event welcomes attendees with or without dogs and offers a casual after-work gathering opportunity in the heart of downtown.
