Evening Events

Important: If meals (dinners, lunches) are available at the event, they will be subject to an additional $10-15 charge, which will be passed on to the attendee. Please pre-purchase your tickets to avoid extra cost and disappointment if tickets are not available. Most items will NOT be available after the store closes.

Welcome Party – Monday Evening

Slip off the show shoes and flip-flop your way into our island hideaway, where the first night of the 2027 Dog Show transforms into full‑blown Margaritaville. Indoors or not, we’re bringing the beach to you — bright colors, breezy vibes, and that unmistakable “I’m officially off-duty” feeling.

Behind the doors of our beachy retreat, you’ll find the kind of easygoing fun that turns strangers into friends and friends into co‑conspirators. It’s part beach party, part tropical oasis, and entirely the perfect way to kick off the 2027 Dog Show weekend.

Come claim your slice of paradise.

 

Price:  $35

Join us as we light up the night for Cavalier Health! This year’s Luminaries will support the ACKCSC Health Alliance. 

Donate a lovely luminary  in memory of a dog you have lost, a dog you have loved, a person who has fostered your interest in Cavaliers, your breeder, or just in recognition of our beautiful and loving breed.  Each luminary will bear the name of the dog/person you wish to honor.  Luminaries are $25 each (or 5 for $100) and will constitute a donation to the ACKCSC Health Alliance, a 501(c)(3) organization.   Let’s light up the night with our love for Cavaliers and make this a truly memorable event! You can take your bag home as a memento at the end of the evening — and if you can’t attend, we’ll even mail it to you if you’d like.
