Howliday Wag N' Shop at Bosly's Backyard

A December dog market, indoors

Bosly's Backyard, the private indoor dog park on Ravenswood Avenue, runs a dog-friendly holiday market on Sunday 6 December 2026, 12pm to 4pm. The venue publishes two details: more than twenty vendors, and professional photos in a "wintery" photo booth.

Because it is indoors, December weather is not a reason for it to be called off.

What is not published, and one thing that is confusing

No price and no ticket link. Unlike Bosly's other events, this one has no link on its events page.

"Registration closed." That line appears directly under the market's description on 14 October 2026. Bosly's does not say what it refers to — vendors or shoppers — and this directory will not guess. Call before you go to find out whether shoppers need to register.

Before you bring a dog

Bosly's FAQ requires dogs in any session where dogs mix to be spayed or neutered and current on rabies, distemper/parvo and bordetella. It does not say whether that applies to market days. Ask if your dog is intact or behind on bordetella.

Bosly's other autumn events — Wag-O-Ween in October and puppy yoga with One Tail at a Time in November — are listed separately. See Events and Meetups for the rest.

Provenance

Date, time, vendor count, photo booth and the "Registration closed" wording from Bosly's Backyard's own events page; vaccination rules from its FAQ; both read 14 October 2026. The year is not printed; 6 December is a Sunday in 2026, which matches. The listing retires itself after the market.

Lost dog? Chicago Animal Care and Control at 2741 S Western is the city's open-admission shelter and the first place to look.
