A single-day dog festival, Muttzanita brings a flurry of furry friends to Manzanita, Oregon. On September 7, the 15th annual event kicks off by crowning Mutt-zanita’s new “mayor”—a year-long title held by the area’s favorite pooch. Following the inauguration, a pet parade winds through downtown to Manzanita’s beach where a series of canine contests commence. Donations from the event go to the Animal Haven by the Sea Rescue.
