Savannah Wiener Dog Races

Save the date of Saturday, October 12, for the 2024 Savannah Wiener Dog Races, hosted by Plant Riverside District and organized by Savannah’s Waterfront. Race heats are open to Dachshunds as well as “Almost Wiener Dogs,” with proceeds benefiting Savannah’s Waterfront.

Apart from the fastest run awards in all categories and weights, there will be exciting contests such as best dressed dog, best dressed dog owner and more.

“We’re thrilled that Plant Riverside District will be the new home for the Savannah Wiener Dog Races and that this exciting tradition has returned to River Street,” said Julie Musselman, Executive Director of Savannah’s Waterfront. “It’s such a fun tradition and an ideal way for local residents and visitors to celebrate Oktoberfest in Savannah.”
