The highly anticipated event takes place on Sunday, September 13, 2026, from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM at Raging Waters Water Park and the adjacent PigDog Beach & Bar on the Wildwood Boardwalk.

If you are looking for the ultimate end-of-summer celebration for your four-legged best friend, the PigDog Puppa Palooza in Wildwood is an absolute must-visit event for your dog blog. Held each September, this incredible canine celebration turns Morey’s Piers' Raging Waters Water Park into a giant, splash-tastic playground where pups can freely paddle through the lazy river and chase floating tennis balls across the activity pools. The excitement is split into organized, one-hour doggie pool party sessions to keep the water safe and fun, and it wraps up right next door at the PigDog Beach & Bar where humans can enjoy cold drinks while dogs devour specialized puppy ice cream. Best of all, it's a party with a heart, as a portion of all ticket sales goes directly toward supporting Beacon Animal Rescue, making it a spectacular weekend getaway that lets you spoil your pup while giving back to local shelter animals.
