Who Will Be the Best in Show at the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show?

If you are a dog lover, you will not want to miss your chance to see some of the world’s ultimate dog competition at the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show. This exciting event has been held every year since 1877 and features all your favorite dog breeds competing for a myriad of titles. Held in the vibrant city of New York, attending the dog show is a great excuse to get out and explore a bustling metropolitan area when you’re not inside seeing some of your favorite doggos.

Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show Event Details

All of the festivities kick off on Saturday, February 8, with preliminary competitions held at Pier 94 in New York City. The competition continues over the next four days, with the finals scheduled on Tuesday, February 11, at the iconic Madison Square Garden.

Dogs will compete for a variety of awards, including the Masters Obedience Championship, the Master Agility Championship, the Junior Showmanship, and the coveted Best in Show award. Tickets for this dog show are on sale now at a variety of price points, making it easy to find the best events for your travel schedule and preferences.

Enjoy a Convenient Hotel Experience by Staying in New Jersey

While some travelers thrive on the energy of the city, others prefer a more relaxed and quiet hotel experience. You can get the best of both worlds if you stay at one of many hotels in Jersey City, NJ. It’s easy to escape the city’s bustle while still enjoying convenient access to the show through the PATH rapid transit system.

The Hyatt House Jersey City is a great example of a Jersey City hotel that delivers many conveniences and premium amenities: The quiet and cozy guestrooms are paired with free breakfast, an onsite restaurant, and stunning views of the Manhattan skyline to provide a perfect place to rest after attending the dog show. The Residence Inn by Marriott Jersey City is another popular option. With its spacious suites, free internet, and fitness center, it offers guests everything they’ve come to expect when traveling.

While in The City

It is easy to reach the Statue of Liberty from Jersey City, making it a great addition to your trip itinerary. While in the area, be sure to check out Liberty State Park and Ellis Island. After taking in the events of the dog show, you can walk the short distance to the famous Times Square to take in the glitz and glamour of this world-class city. If the weather cooperates, be sure to plan for some time to explore Central Park and the museums that line its borders. Visitors will find both the American Museum of Natural History as well as the Metropolitan Museum of Art right along the Central Park corridor.

Tempt Your Taste Buds

As one of the world’s greatest melting pots of culture and people, there is no shortage of amazing international food choices in the New York City area. For a taste of Cuba while in Times Square, do not miss a stop at the lively Havana Central. Or enjoy a classic New York City experience with weekend brunch at the landmark Tavern on the Green in Central Park. If you end up staying in Jersey City, you will want to unwind with a meal at the waterfront Porto Leggero, featuring a smorgasbord of Italian favorites.
