Hundreds of Scottish terriers and their owners filled the streets of Baileys Harbor this weekend as the 26th annual Door County Scottie Rally returned to northern Door County.

The three-day event, themed “Canis Major & The Scottie Star,” celebrated the Scottish terrier breed while also promoting awareness for Door County’s dark sky preservation efforts. Activities included the popular Parade of Scots through downtown Baileys Harbor, Scottie Fast Cat races, live music, bagpipe performances and community gatherings at local businesses.
Groups including the Door Peninsula Astronomical Society and Door County Brewing Co. hosted stargazing events and fundraising activities throughout the weekend.
The rally, one of the largest Scottish terrier gatherings in North America, also featured auctions and fundraising efforts supporting Scottish terrier health research and rescue organizations. The event continues to bring visitors from across the United States to Door County each spring in Baileys Harbor.
