Our Story
NorCal Golden Lovers began in 2016 with a golden retriever meetup at the Redding Civic Auditorium - with just seven dogs. Each year, this annual event continues to grow and soon became known as Golden Palooza!
​
Since then, our group has teamed up with NorCal Golden Lovers Sacramento. We've gotten together for weekly walks, weekend hikes, parades, and even music venues.
​
The Golden Palooza is an annual event designed to celebrate our favorite dog breed - whether it's a puppy or a 12-year old sugar faced senior. The most extrordinary aspect of this event is the friendships formed among the participants.
​
We do not charge participants an admission fee, though we welcome donations to help us defray the costs of hosting. You can do that here.
​
Folks who attend Golden Palooza are encouraged to bring a slightly worn toy, bed, collar or leash. We will be donating these items to local animal shelters.
​
The mission of this event is to enhance and expand the golden retriever community and the love of our dogs.
​
We are grateful for the support we receive from both Redding and Sacramento NorCal Golden Lovers, and golden fans everywhere!
​
We look forward to seeing you.
