The Door County Scottie Rally (DCSR) will mark its 26th gathering of Scottish terriers May 15-17, in Baileys Harbor, featuring themed events, community activities and fundraising efforts to support dark sky awareness.

The weekend theme, “Canis Major & the Scottie Star,” highlights efforts to protect Door County’s night skies for aurora viewing and celestial education, DCSR President Michele Geiger-Bronsky said.

Events begin Friday at Door County Brewing Co. with “Pups & Pints,” live music, stargazing with the Door Peninsula Astronomical Society and informational booths.

Saturday features the Parade of Scots with the Northern Unit Pipes & Drums, which is planned to march through downtown around 11:30 a.m., followed by Fast Cat racing demonstrations at Kendall Park and a public online auction, accepting donation starting May 9, supporting the nonprofit and breed advocacy.

Sunday events include a coffee gathering and a walk to Baileys Harbor’s farmers market.

Michele Geiger-Bronsky, president of Door County Scottie Rally, Inc., said the event blends celebration and community engagement.

“We love bringing people together through the Scotties from all corners of the world, but also using that joy to support education, local partners and protecting our dark skies,” Geiger-Bronsky said.
