About StraBassotti

An army of short legs invades Monza Park: StraBassotti is the solidarity and non-competitive walk dedicated to dachshunds - and all dogs - which every year attracts thousands of participants, owners and four-legged friends. With a pet village, prizes, and shows, it's a colourful celebration that promotes responsible adoptions and animal welfare, in one of the most beautiful green settings in Brianza.

When Monza Park fills with dachshunds

StraBassotti is a solidarity and non-competitive walk that takes place in Monza Park (Province of Monza and Brianza), meeting along Viale Mirabello. The absolute stars are the dachshunds, parading en masse with their owners, but participation is open to dogs of all breeds and sizes: the result is a colourful procession of paws and smiles through the tree-lined avenues of the large Brianza park.

A walk for a good cause

Organised by the association Cuor di Pelo Rescue Bassotti, StraBassotti has a strong solidarity dimension: the registration fee is a donation that supports the association's activities, dedicated to the rescue and welfare of dachshunds. The event also promotes responsible adoption and a culture of respect for animals, in a festive atmosphere that brings together families, enthusiasts, and the simply curious.

Pet village, prizes, and shows

In addition to the walk, the day offers a pet village with stands dedicated to the animal world, prizes, gadgets from sponsors, and entertainment. It has become a well-established event in Monza's outdoor calendar, attracting thousands of participants each year to the Park, the city's green lung and one of the largest in Europe.

StraBassotti — edition 2026

The seventh edition of StraBassotti returns on Sunday, June 7, 2026, to Monza Park, with the meeting point at Viale Mirabello. Thousands of dachshunds and dogs of all sizes parade in the solidarity and non-competitive walk, featuring a pet village, prizes, and shows, in support of the Cuor di Pelo Rescue Bassotti association.

The 2026 edition, the seventh, takes place on Sunday, June 7, at Monza Park. The gazebo opens at 8:00 AM for registration and kit collection, with the walk starting at noon.
