Historic St. Andrews is abuzz with anticipation as it prepares to host the annual Doggie Caucus at Little Village on Sunday, March 1st, from 1 to 4 pm 2808 W 12th St, Panama City, FL, 32401.

This lively gathering offers the community a chance to meet the 2026 Salty Dog Mayor candidates, support local pet initiatives, and revel in the unique charm of St. Andrews.

The event will feature the beloved local group, The Ukes, whose island-folk melodies are sure to set a festive tone.

In true Little Village fashion, the event encourages an open-jam style, inviting attendees to bring instruments and join in the musical celebration.

While the music plays, guests can savor food and cocktail specials, explore the Village's cozy outdoor spaces, and soak in the laid-back atmosphere that makes this venue a local favorite.

The Doggie Caucus isn't just a party; it's a platform to support the mission behind St. Andrews' Salty Dog Day, a cherished tradition that raises awareness and resources for local pet welfare.

Attendees will have the opportunity to meet the current Salty Dog Mayor, Ginger, and the new mayoral candidates vying for the 2026 title.

They can cast their votes for their favorite furry contenders, donate dog food and pet supplies to aid local rescue efforts, and learn more about the organizations and volunteers dedicated to supporting animals in need.

Every donation and vote contributes to the spirit of Salty Dog Day, celebrating the pets that bring joy and companionship to families across Bay County.

Event organizers hint that details are still "being unleashed," but one thing is certain: this gathering is shaping up to be a paw-litical party you won't want to miss.

With music, community, good food, and good dogs, it's the perfect warm-up to the full Salty Dog Day festivities coming later this spring.

Hosted by Salty Dog Day in Historic St. Andrews and Little Village.
