Families and dog lovers can look forward to a fantastic day out at the Dogs on The Green Markets this August 2026. Held at the beautiful Broadwater Parklands, this popular pet-friendly event offers free entry, delicious food trucks, a charity raffle, and unique stalls packed with treats and toys for your furry friends
Dogs on The Green Markets @ Gold Coast
Dogs on The Green is the Gold Coast’s ultimate dog-friendly market, bringing together dog lovers with free entry, held multiple times per year. From tasty treats and fun toys to expert training, holistic pet care, and essential vet services, there’s something for every pup and their owner.
Set at the beautiful Fisherman’s Lawn at Broadwater Parklands, food trucks and coffee vans will be on-site, serving up delicious bites while visitors explore the market. Friendly, leashed dogs are welcome to join in the fun, meet new furry friends, and enjoy a day out in a vibrant, pet-loving community.
The fan-favourite raffle is back, with 100% of proceeds going directly to a selected rescue group, raising thousands of dollars for volunteer-run dog rescue organisations. Five fantastic prizes are up for grabs – every ticket makes a difference.
After the markets, make the most of everything Broadwater Parklands has to offer. There are bouncy castles, adventure playgrounds, boat and kayak hire, outdoor gyms, fishing piers and kilometres of walking paths – plus sandy beach areas to explore with your pup. Please note that dogs must remain on lead throughout the Parklands, as there are no off-leash areas at the event. Parking may be limited.
