The snowy streets of Colorado were met with hundreds and thousands of attendees taking their golden friends to grace the event from around the world from Saint Petersburg to Florida.

Many attendees also planned their leaves and payoffs months prior to the event to make sure not to miss the "golden opportunity" to attend the event. Charlie shared his excitement with TODAY, sharing that when he heard of the event last year he knew they had to make it this time. "We looked it up and thought, oh my gosh, (thousands of) golden retrievers in one spot. And so we said, ‘We got to do this.’"

They’re so cute, every one of them is so cute."
The event features a variety of activities for dogs and their owners, such as a parade, costume contest, and agility course. The event is a popular way for Golden Retriever lovers to come together and celebrate their furry friends.
