Ring in the holiday season with your furry friends at Playland! This year, Playland is partnering with VEG Cares and Veterinary Emergency Group to introduce the first annual Holiday Family Pet Photography event for charity on Sunday, December 3, 2023 from 11 am to 3 pm. Visitors can dress up their pets – whether they are a dog, cat, or bird – in their holiday best for an adorable Winter Wonderland or Santa-themed shoot. The photo op will be available at Playland Beach Boardwalk, set along the backdrop of panoramic views of the Long Island Sound, while also giving back to the local community.

Available at $20 as a donation to VEG Cares, visitors and their furry (or feathered) friends can have their photo taken on the Playland Boardwalk, courtesy of Bryan Goldberg Photography, and receive one digital photo. All proceeds go directly to VEG Cares and will help local underserved pets in the White Plains area. The event is open to pets of all shapes and sizes, as well as families and individuals without pets looking to snap a holiday photo. All are encouraged to come in their most festive holiday attire, as VEG will be giving away merchandise to the best dressed pets and patrons.

Playland will also offer visitors the chance to win complimentary 2024 All Access Season Passes. Parking will also be free for the event.

Note: At Rye Beach at Playland, all pets should be appropriately leashed.

Venue: Playland Boardwalk
