Guide Dogs Victoria hosts a number of regular events each year, including:

Open Day

For over 12 years, Guide Dogs Victoria’s annual Open Day has been entertaining kids and adults alike with a range of fun and educational experiences. From Guide Dog and Puppy Demonstrations to showbags and kid's activities, there's lots to see and do at Open Day. This event is held annually in the first quarter of every year.  

Top Dog Day

Our annual fundraising event, the sale of Top Dog Day merchandise helps us to raise vital funding to raise and train more Guide Dogs.

International Guide Dog Day

International Guide Dog Day is celebrated annually on the last Wednesday of every April. Recognised all over the world, we celebrate the important role that Guide Dogs play in helping people who are blind or vision impaired to achieve safe and independent travel. 

Graduation Day

A very special day on the Guide Dogs Victoria calendar, Graduation Day celebrates our new Guide Dog partnerships that have been created through the year. This is a chance for Puppy Raisers to see their pups graduate as fully-fledged Guide Dogs and for the public to see what a difference their support is making.

Puppy Sponsorship functions

Twice yearly functions are held exclusively for our Puppy Sponsors, giving you the opportunity to meet your sponsored pups. It’s like Open Day without the big crowds – plus the joy of seeing your generosity in action as these cheeky young pups mature. Click here for more information on Puppy Sponsorship.
