The doggy social event of the season is happening April 28 in Midtown Atlanta. Midtown Alliance’s second annual Midtown Mutt Gala – a playful riff on the stylish Met Gala – will bring hundreds of Atlantans together in the heart of their city to enjoy food, music and costumed canines strutting their stuff on the red carpet.
The outdoor event is free for spectators, with a small fee to enter the costume contest.
Join in on the fun with or without a dog. RSVP at MidtownATL.com/MuttGala. Fashionable attire is encouraged but not required. There’s also a neat, fenced-in dog park at the edge of the venue for dogs and their humans to meet up and play.
Know anyone with a haute dog that likes to dress up and slay the runway?

Midtown Alliance will not be able to accept any walk-up contestants on the day of the event. Please forward this story to your friends and encourage them to enter their fierce, four-legged fashionista in the competition.
