Summer Clue Hunt 'Dog Duck Days' Returns to Downtown Newnan

Downtown Newnan is once again playing host to a summer-long scavenger hunt that challenges participants to follow weekly clues to find a hidden 'dog duck.' The event, known as 'Dog Duck Days of Summer,' kicked off the week of June 1 and will continue throughout the season, encouraging residents and visitors to explore the city's core.

Each week, a new clue is released, guiding seekers to a specific location within downtown Newnan where the elusive dog duck is hidden. The exact nature of the 'dog duck' and the prizes associated with finding it are not detailed, but the event aims to create engagement and draw attention to local businesses and points of interest.

The 'Dog Duck Days of Summer' is part of a broader effort to promote local activities and businesses in the Newnan-Coweta area. The official Events Calendar for Explore Newnan-Coweta, available at explorenewnancoweta.com/things-to-do/events/, lists a variety of happenings, including recurring Saturday markets like the Coweta County Farmers Market, Senoia Farmers’ Market, and Market Day in downtown Newnan.

Other upcoming events mentioned in the calendar include additional farmers markets on August 5 and 8, and programs at Chattahoochee Bend State Park, such as a homeschool owl session and Bird Bingo on August 7. The Newnan-Coweta Chamber and Main Street Newnan also maintain their own event calendars.

The Explore Newnan-Coweta website notes that it is not the organizer for the listed events and advises interested parties to contact the hosts directly for details, tickets, or participation information. The information provided is current as of early August 2026 and is subject to updates.

Why it matters — The 'Dog Duck Days of Summer' event aims to boost local engagement and drive foot traffic to businesses in downtown Newnan throughout the summer season.
