The Val de Seine Leisure Island is set to host the Canidays from May 29 to 31, 2026, a festival dedicated to dogs. Featuring agility workshops, dog-paddle sessions, expert talks, and scenic nature walks, this fun-filled event in the Yvelines promises an unforgettable weekend of adventures for dogs and their owners!

From May 29 to May 31, 2026, dog lovers are invited to the Canidays festival, a completely dog-friendly event held at the Île de Loisirs du Val de Seine in Yvelines. The festival's goal is to celebrate the bond between dogs and their owners amidst nature, creating a space where every duo can learn, have fun, and share experiences—designed with our four-legged friends in mind.

Over 2,500 dogs and their families are expected to gather for a day filled with fun and educational experiences. Visitors will have the chance to meet canine experts and passionate enthusiasts, participate in workshops, enjoy a social aperitif, attend informative talks, and watch the traditional dog parade. The event also features paddleboarding, yoga sessions, and a family-friendly walk, all set within the lively festival village.

Your dogs can even try their paw at agility, put their sense of smell to the test, or splatter around in a bouncy ball pit! It’s a great chance to enjoy sports together, deepen your bond, discover new talents, and share moments of pure joy.

Several options are available to suit your budget and desired experience during the festival, starting from 30 euros per person. This includes complimentary accessories for your dog and unlimited participation in all activities. Dog-friendly adventures are also on the agenda, such as a stroll for a relaxing break, a treasure hunt with 10 clues and puzzles along the route, or a night walk to enjoy the stars.

You can also join us as a regular visitor to explore the village and listen to the talks, even if you don’t have a dog and just want to see the pups run around for an afternoon! In any case, don’t forget to register to secure your spot!
